Thanksgiving Week

November 24th through 30th, 2015

Lake Lucerne
No ice yet. Chunks of Lake Wabikon have frozen over, then opened up, and then began to freeze over again. That's a good sign for those with dates during the second week of December, but you never know.

Creeks and streams continue to flow into the lake. By the end of the week, the lake gained about a half an inch of depth. More rain/snow would be nice.

There was some localized freezing on Lake Lucerne if you looked closely.

Late in the week, the area got about an inch of snow, far less than was predicted.

When the weather gets colder, mice head to the bar. Then to one of the bar's two mouse traps. We were getting 2 a day, then none which is good, but what to do with those broken Mickeys?

The far side of the deck is now more festive. Martha Stewart would be proud, or grossed out, or something.

Then there was Thanksgiving. Mrs Nemo did most of the cooking.

I did the cranberries.

The last raft is out of the water.

As the last one to take a dip in the lake, I can attest to its coldness.

Neighboring lakes are all showing ice sign, but not Lucerne. We are expecting to see some frozen lake around the islands soon. The reason the snow is not deeper is because the storm hit us with mostly rain. That rain froze on roads. Knott Lane has about a half an inch of ice. Lake Lucerne drive is also ice coated. It's easy to spot the people that like to walk around the lake area by their casts and bruises.
