The lake is trying very hard to freeze, but warm afternoon temperatures have been putting a kink in the plans.  There are some interesting designs in the thin ice.

We woke to more new snow this morning.  The old Chevy Cavalier had no trouble getting up the hill to greet the school bus.

There has been some concern in the area about the lack of snow.  Many local restaurants and businesses depend on generous snowfall to survive the off season up here.  It becomes much more important as we near the prime snowmobile season.
