Some Winds ....

Greetings Everyone --

Yesterday (Jan 2nd), we continued to have winds - but not as strong on our side of the island.  We could however, hear the winds howling and blowing from the southwest.  The temperature was in the high 30's to mid-40's - so the snow continued to melt and the lake to thaw.

We spent the day outside picking up items tossed about by the wind and checking our close neighbors' cabins. 

The day after - Hi-Lift jacks that held the panels down while Ernie secured the roof with roofing nails.  He had to lay on his stomach during the wind storm to nail the panels down.  The winds are still continuing - so we will need to wait until the winds calm so that we can make repairs.

Southeast view down our beach - all the snow is gone.

The lake with no snow - the wind blew it all off.

The winds are suppose to continue - so we will see how things go.
