You can finally smell winter in the air, but then it gets back up into the 30's by middle of the week again, probably not warm enough though to stop building ice for most of the day. Looks to me like the week after this next one we get to play St. Peter and walk on water, at least on some of the lakes. I am not ready to chance it yet this coming week.

Ma and I went to the grandson's basketball game last night and the air felt different now. Felt like winter even if it was 30 dgrees. No1son and others who live in the northern tier states know the feeling. I think no1son may be entertaining a snow shovel today and perhaps tomorrow and then we get cold according to the local weather. I'm thinking you're going to get nipped too Crappie 1. The weather map I saw looked pretty wide where the cold was going to settle and with the amount of snow forecast the air is going to lose a bunch of heat. Just hope the snow precedes the cold so you're ice can set up clear.
