We haven't seen any, I repeat any, snowmobiles on our lake at all this winter. There was a short period where it seemed as if the lake might have iced over, at the very end of January, but it didn't remain cold long enough and the ice wasn't very thick. We have water running through our cove again, and can see open water out on the main part of the lake already. Mergansers have been spotted.
The stump in the foreground usually floats in our cove, but with the failure of the dam flashboards in December, much of our water drained away, leaving this beautiful piece of art high and dry! The repairs to the dam flashboards began the week of Feb 13, so maybe we'll be able to regain (and retain) some water during spring rains.
