Spring is near.

Well it's been a long winter. I don't think any records for cold or snowfall were broken but it seemed long. Lake travel this winter was ideal as the ice was thick and no slush. Many cabin owners went to their cabins by truck over ice roads and snowmobile. For the past 10 days the temps have been mild. As high as 50 farenhight. Most of the snow is gone but still lots in the bush and shaded areas. All the snow on the lake is gone but the ice has not yet lifted. My son Curtis said he seen a truck drive under the Causeway and heading north today. The ice is very thick. The norm for ice out is around the end of April. It's too early to make an accurate prediction. I will post again in a couple of weeks with more updates.
