Well…as I sit here finishing my coffee before I get to the kitchen, the thought came to me that this has been a pretty good winter so far…we’ve had some snow that hasn’t been bad to shovel and I just looked at the weather and, while it’s going to be cold for the next week, there is not a lot of snow in the forecast for the rest of the month…maybe a couple of days with snow showers but that is about it…and that only leaves about 6 weeks where we can potentially get some big lake effect snow storms….but, if they set up, we could get feet of snow so I guess I shouldn’t be happy yet….one strange thing with how cold it’s been out here is that the lake ice is at the lowest in almost 20 years…and I do need to get out to Lake Michigan to take a look at the shore ice and wander around on it a bit…I do need to get a new phone so I can take photos again without dragging my tablet with me…okay, back to work….
