Right on Schedule
December 23rd through 29th   


Snow. You could almost set your clock by it. The calender flipped to Winter and BAMM! Six inches followed a few days later by eight inches. The six incher was the wet and heavy kind. The eight incher was of moderate water content. The lake level could be up come Spring!


This ought to make snowmobilers and the establishments that enjoy their company happy. It goes without saying that those who enjoy digging their sleds out of the snow will be the happiest of all.

The snow extended to the area a Holiday season-y feel that a thin blanket of the white stuff does not offer.


Caused by the wetness of the flakes, the bar saw some of the biggest snow curls ever. Cowabunga!


The condition of Knott Lane; Good for cross country skiing, not so much for driving or walking.
Are you famliar with the giant pile of pallets just to the northeast of the intersection of Hwy 8 and County W? The stack has been growing for several years now. Late last week (Friday) they became one of the biggest bonfires ever!


The snows end and the bonfire were celebrated on Saturday with a very civil bar night. You should have come over. That goes double for the people on the South end of the lake who lost power for almost 18 hours.
The drone was sent up on Sunday to image the newly minted Winter wonderland.

Lake Lucerne and Metonga are still frozen.
Devils lake and Wabikon also remain ice covered.

In addition to the ice on Lake Lucerne, there's 11.5 inches of snow.
The ice is about 10 inches thick.


There's still snow on Lake Lucerne Drive. Our guess is that there will be snow and ice on Lake Lucerne Drive for the next several weeks. It would seem that January, the second Horseman of the Snowpocalypse, has extended an icy tentacle into December. This is common thus not unexpected. The drawbacks of frozen roads and limbs are offset, a bit, by the distinct lack of bugs. It's been days since anyone has reported a mosquito bite. It would appear that January's second gift, extreme cold, is almost upon us. This should make the 24th Annual Lake Lucerne Bottle Rocket War even more cool. Heh.
