I put the Lund away for the winter this week. It is always kind of sad to take out all of the safety equipment and the little things that I have on board to make my job easier like the long hook for grabbing decoy lines. It has been an amazing year filled with many great memories of trips with folks that I look forward to seeing again next year. I had already put the strip built canoe in the rafters of the garage and all of the canoes are on the rack behind the house so I am ready for the indoor phase of my year to get started.
A light wet snow is falling this morning. I think that it must be in advance of a front because it is so warm. I’m sure that we won’t have much accumulation and we lost quite a bit of what we had over the weekend. Yesterday was a perfect early winter day, light wind, sunshine and pretty warm. We took advantage and brought in our Christmas tree. Argy took a few pictures with a beautiful winter sunset in the background. It is really starting to look a lot like Christmas here.
Snowing like crazy this morning and blowing a gale. Winter arrives at last. I was scheduled to guide a party of duck hunters this morning but cancelled on account of the anticipated wind the snow is completely unexpected. For a brief time while I had the dogs out it was snowing quite hard. It has lightened up some but is still snowing. The latest forecast guess has us getting around 6 inches or so. Just enough to make the Christmas decorations look great.
