we started to see some ice form in the harbor, but as all summer, the wind came up and the ice just broke up – with the foot or so of snow last week I thought winter was truly here, but while we were in Iowa for Thanksgiving it melted away. The rain/snow mix the last few days had taken care of any residue and is not accumulating. Looking at last years journal, we didn’t see solid ice until around the 20th of December.
