Happy New Year from a cold windy Lower Kaubashine

Drifting snow over our ice skating rink.  Nobody is in a hurry to got down and get it back in shape

The beach covered in waves of ice

As my fingers were ready to freeze to the camera button, I caught this picture of the wind whipping up the snow by the boats

Little snow tornado on the other side of the lake.  We had a light dusting of snow last night and that is what is whipping around on the lake.  The rest of the snow is about 6 inches deep or so I think and crusty after the rain and freezing rain.

Perfect lake for ice fishing right now, no snow to trudge through.  Tom at Hilltop has marked the lake for sledding

The light dusting of snow we got last night.  They do have clipper systems in the forecast for next week nothing big but hopefully enough to repair some of the damage done to the trails

Mack playing in the snow with a friend.  This is the way most of our area looks for snow right now it is a hard crusty snow but mainly covers the ground.  I am guessing it is ok for x country skiing once they regroom and break it up.  Snowmobiling though is going to take more snow in the forecast
