Post Ice-In Weekend

Even better was the planet Mars.

We did not see comet Holmes with our eyes but I knew where it was. The film was able to "see' it. It's the bright blob just above the center and a little to the left in this image.

The air was particularly cold Friday night and Saturday morning but Brule was open! The sub-zero temperatures prompted that little voice inside to inquire, "do you really want to do this?" as we drove to the hill. It turned out to be a pleasant day with no frostbite and only a few close calls.

After 18 runs of various degrees of terror, the sun was setting and the cold was starting to penetrate our souls. If you leave Brule by 3:10 PM you can make the 4:00 PM mass at Laona.

Crandon has put out new (I don't remember them last year) light pole decorations.

They look good at night.

Most of the houses in Crandon seem to have some light display up, but none beat Tom's.

I you get the chance to see it, take it. These two pictures do not begin to do it justice.

On Sunday there were many tasks to complete before the Packers crushed the Raiders. The ice was checked and found to be almost 6 inches thick. Most of the snow has blown off the top. More cold will quickly add to that 6 inches.

The server that stores the webcam images was cleaned up by backing off pictures from August through November to a portable hard drive to be transfered to CD ROM later. It took awhile to move the 50,000+ hi-def pictures.
