Snow In The Morning

Wonder Woman

7:34

It's 7:00 and because of the snow, I can hardly make out Long Point. It's windy as well although the temperature has risen from yesterday's 3º to this morning's 30º, the beginning, I fear, of the big thaw, the end of winter.  We have had an unprecedented month of a frozen lake, ice fishing, groomed trails, great mornings of snowshoeing or cross country skiing.  No complaints. 

Sunday Morning

Yesterday was a spectacular finale to our winter fun if, as the meteorologists predict, it's beginning to warm up. We had sun and blue skies the entire day and most of us took advantage of it, either on the lake or on the trails. The lake was busy with snowmobiles flying by, ice fishermen, families out for a walk on the lake, and a few cross country skiers like us.  Because it was so bitter cold early, we waited for it to warm up to 18º at 10:30 before venturing out to ski. 

Made It To Tom's Point!

I thought we would be out for a nice easy trek but Evie had other ideas.  She wanted to ski around the lake to Tom's Point.  I stuck with her part of the way, to Sandy Bottom, but then wimped out and turned around and headed home, as she went on her way. I was out for an hour and returned drenched in sweat. I then relaxed in my warm living room and watched  Evie with my binoculars trudge along Tom's Point, a smudge of gray in the distance.  She was out for a good two hours, skiing over three miles.    

From A Distance

Neither of us was very hungry so we both had peanut butter and jelly sandwiches on toast for a late and easy lunch.  Needless to say, we were both tired from skiing, so the afternoon was spent on couches, reading, or watching TV.  It felt good to have gotten in our skiing but then just relax and not worry about doing anything. We both felt like a pizza for dinner so I drove over to Bemus Point and picked up a pizza from Coppola's.  

Snowmobiles Cometh At 7:45 PM

We had a pleasant cocktail hour, with popcorn, and great cheese, compliments of Linda and Ron.  Dinner was warming up the pizza, pouring a Pepsi over iee and we had dinner. We watched  SNL and some home improvement shows before ending the night with the news and some NBA. It was another fine winter day.
