KEEP THE DOORS OPEN

KEEP THE DOORS OPEN

Saturday, 9:30 AM.  24 degrees F, wind SW, mostly calm with light gusts.  It is snowing, very fine flakes falling straight down, the sky is overcast and it is foggy enough to obscure Madeline Island. The roads were getting slippery by the time Buddy and I got back from our walk.  The humidity is 90% and the barometer is still trending down, currently at 29.49".   This is a day that could get nasty, or perhaps not.
    Yesterday evening I went downtown to order a pizza at Sgt. Pepperonis, and stopped by the ferry dock to see if I could get a movie of the five 0'clock wind sled arriving or leaving.  The wind sled was no where it sight, but I saw headlights coming from Madeline Island on the still-closed Ice Road and waited to see what it was.
   Sure enough, it was a midd-sized car full of people.   Maybe they missed the wind sled.  Maybe they were out of beer.
   I would suggest that they keep the doors open on the way back.
