Thursday, 8:00 AM. -18 degrees(on this date last year it was 17 degrees above), wind W, light with stronger gusts. The sky is clear, the moon still hanging in the western sky. The lake smoke rises in the east beyond Madeline Island.Our morning walk lasted only ten minutes, Lucky doing his three-legged hop almost from the outset. I put long underwear on for the first time since deer season, and they will stay on until this cold snap is over. My grandfather kept his on all winter, without benefit of washtub for them or himself, and by spring they could stand up without assistance. That is just the way things were. Anyway, no pretenses this morning about “warmer near the lake.”
