| NOR'EASTER |
Friday, 9:00 AM. 41 degrees F at the ferry dock, 35 on the back porch. Wind NE, gale force. Humidity 88%. The barometer is rising, now at 29.7". Highs in the 30's, rain and snow showers possible for the next ten days. We awoke early, in the dark, to a freight train wind roaring through the pine trees, driving a cold, pelting rain.
Our trip to Duluth was visual testimony that the fall color season is indeed over for 2017. A rouge holdout maple here and there still colorful, and of course some willows yet with leaves, but otherwise all is dormant, awaiting winter's onslaught.
The last of the ninth inning has been played, and Ol'Man Winter has won again. Fall ain't over 'til it's over, and ...it's over!
