ICE FISHING IS HEATING UP

ICE FISHING TENTS AND SNOWMOBILE LIGHT AT DUSK

WEATHER FRONT

Monday, 8:30 AM.  2 degrees F, wind N, mostly calm but with some gusts and blowing snow.  The sky is cloudy and there is fog over the channel.  The humidity is 80% and the barometer is rising, now at 30.75".  The morning is a repeat of yesterday, but colder.
   Yesterday afternoon, after the Packer/Cowboys football game (the Pack won a thriller) I took Buddy for a much needed run on the beach.  The temperature was a reasonable 14 degrees but it seemed much colder as a massive front  moved in from the northwest. There were ice fishing tents on the bay, and we watched the light of a snowmobile as it came in from somewhere out in the icy vastness.   Neighbors Tina and Jon went out to the north end of Basswood Island yesterday on their snowmobiles and caught some fish.  Ice fishing seems to be heating up (no pun intended).
