Winter Weekend
February 16th & 17th   
Saturday morning was one of those cold ones that we've come to expect the last few weeks.  It started out at around 5 F and peaked around 20 F.
LT took time on Friday to build a monument to the bottle rocket forts destroyed a few weeks ago by al-kida.  Constructed with pieces of his ice fort, it was about 6 feet tall.
The webcam has performed well during the past cold snap, running at times well below it's low operating temperature of -4 F.
After skiing at Brule, a hole was drilled in the lake and the ice measured.  There was 19 inches of good ice.  I'll have the annual ice-out contest up next week.

We'll be back in a few weeks to check the snow and ice depth.  We really need much more snow to bring the lake level back to normal.
