Dropping in with a quick entry…I’m still swamped with a pile of projects but it’s good to take a breather. Plans for a couple of hours of ice fishing today were quashed by howling Chinook winds and, in many places, nearly a foot of water rushing over top of the ice. For several weeks prior to this, our temperatures were in the mid-minus twenties (Celsius) and today we were sitting at almost thirty five degrees warmer. This ice boat we found sitting on the lake may wind up in the drink if this keeps up!

    The weather is weird and wild here, too.

      Definitely not able to go out with those conditions…we’ll get some deep cold again and maybe we’ll find some time to go out then.

      Have a fantastic weekend, Laurie!

    What strange weather! I agree with Laurie – I’m glad you didn’t risk going fishing!

      Definitely a bit too dangerous – it was surprising how quickly it all melted.

      Hope you have a delightful weekend!
