| HIGHWAY 2 CLOSED TO ASHLAND |
 |
| BIG WAVES AND HIGH WATER |
 |
| SNOW |
Saturday, 8:00 AM. 33 degrees F at the ferry dock, 29 on the back porch. Wind NNW, light with light to moderate gusts. The sky is cloudy and overcast but it has stopped snowing, the humidity is 88%. The barometer is steady, at 29.93". Highs will be around 40, with mixed skies, rain and snow through Wednesday, so there should be little if any accumulation of snow, of which there is a bit more than an inch on the ground now. It is a harbinger of winter that is here several weeks early.
We have had a classic Nor'easter. The ferry shut down at 5:00 PM Thursday and was closed all day yesterday by winds as high as 60 MPH and waves up to 17 feet out on the big lake. We went to Ashland yesterday afternoon and US Hwy 2 was closed at the intersection of Hwy, 13 and we had to take an alternate route. It is the first time we have seen the highway closed due to waves and high water since we have lived here, although the gates have always been there, rather ominous sentinels.
Last night was a good evening to stay in and we didn't even venture out for the traditional Friday night fish fry.
