Nice. Chilly, but nice.. at a distance. I'll have to take the camera out next time I go out. I saw baby leaves on some of the early bushes and other signs of early spring on my walk today.
 
BeGreen - do you fish or crab the sound? I'd love to live out that way and crab during season for dungenous! When I visited Seattle, you could see them on the rocks and pilings in the clear water. What a beautiful place.

Yeah more snow here in the east - 3-6 more tonight. The ice was rough. I put down 80 lbs of rock salt to clear my drive!
 
Craig, it is cold and we are expecting it to basically stay cold for another week or more but all of this morning it really felt good outdoors. I just love it during the winter month when it gets cold but no wind with it. The air is just nice then and it is a joy to be outside.
 
Saturday night we hit a low of -18. Monday's local news report stated the lowest reported was Pickford at -41. Needless to say we didn't do much the past five days but keep the stove loaded and flush the pipes with water to prevent freezing. Today we could see mid +20s - heat wave hits the U.P!

I think we almost hit 30 yesterday! I am just thankful that so far we have not had any ice issues. This weekend we plan to seek out some ice though...a lake nearby creates an ice run down a hill onto the lake and rents toboggans out to benefit the local FD...I hope it stays near 30 though!
