The past two days we have had lots of rain and high temps, washing away all the snow, except for our tree line.




It dropped down to -17 last night, firming everything up.



The movement of the ice has broken the bracing on the dock.

This weekend is Men's weekend. You might wonder what happens during this festival. First of all, the women either leave the lake, or try to keep a very low profile. The men do a little sledding, play some cards, have a couple of "pops" and make large amounts of yellow snow. There seems to be a low turn out this year. No doubt this has something to do with Valentine's day tomorrow. This makes it clear who wears the ski-doo pants in those households.
