A beautiful sunrise this morning was a pleasant greeting to what has become a very nice day. The clouds probably have been the most interesting. Ice has been the most challenging. Rain last night melted the snow layer on the path to South Beach leaving it solid ice and sent me home. The warmer temperatures are melting the snow, which makes the use of the ice shanty and the ice boats questionable. Still a lot of Winter to go.
Is the Lake Leelanau water level low ???
The dam gates are lowered in the winter to lower the lake and prevent shoreline erosion caused by ice
