Looking out over the lake it is easy to see Winter has dipped more than a toe into the ever-darkening waters. The snow flurries from yesterday, last night and today, along with the freezing temperatures have left a snowy frosting in spots and a dark semi-slush in others. Yes, there are still large places of open water but even the eye can see how cold it must be there, even in the remaining liquid state. Not a time for anyone to venture out in any kind of craft.
There is no current today whereas just two days ago the current was free and flowing from east to west. Two days before that there were white caps on the waves as the brisk current whipped up from west to east. But today, the surface of the lake is a cold, still mirror of blackness with fat fingers of white and dark hardening slush. At least on the north side. Looking across the lake, from just past the midpoint toward the opposite shore, the water appears more open, fewer fingers.
Who knows. Maybe it's still late Fall over there. But here, on this side - Winter is checking out the landscape.
