It's fairly dismal outside (this is a color picture). Three or four inches of snow on the ground this morning - a bit
more to come.

My May 4 prediction for ice out is looking pretty questionable.
|

September rains have raised the lake water to near normal level for this time of year. This is the highest it's been all
summer.
We didn't get frost until last week. I think the tree leaves are hanging on later this year than usual.

It took some motor work and rocking to break free from one to two inches of ice when it was time to come home. Definitely
