Hey, It's Cold Out Here!

Mackinac winters are typically cold and we often have bright blue skies that make the "crisp" temperatures almost pleasant.

The random snowmen are appearing again this year; this one is beside a path through the woods - where else will they show up this winter?

And we have some days that are liking living in a snow-globe: big, fat flakes floating from the skies:

Very occasionally, we have an ice storm; it's amazing how a coating of ice can transform everything it touches.

Only a tiny bit of shore ice so far:

It doesn't seem likely that these Christmas trees will be used to mark the ice bridge this year!

Cold temperatures, snow and ice don't stop a thing here, and what a pleasure to NOT have to drive in it!
