The ducks that overflowed from the woods and are now roosting on boat lifts did not seem to mind the cool weather.
There was some good news. It rained every day!
The bad news was in the totals. We might have got almost 1 inch for the entire week. And that's generous. The lake level continues to fall. We could use a very large storm. Say a yard of rain or so.
I have a vague memory of opening the bar on Friday the 31st. The bar night lasted well into Saturday. There was Bar Rail Bowling. We ran out of banana liqueur.
Young people took their first trip to the "Big Rock" on West Shore Drive.
Ahh, the water temperature. It's cool. Cold. Think 65°F, but it feels colder. Some tried to deal with the iciness by enjoying activities that kept a buffer of warmish air (warm only when compared to the lake) between themselves and the water.
Others tried to increase the surface area of the lake in the hope that the air would warm the liquid or something. The lake remains very cold.
The weather does seem to be slowly improving with Sunday feeling more like mid-spring than late fall. I can't help but think though that there will be an early ice-in.
