Winter revived

Winter has been reinstated. After two weeks of unseasonably warm weather and even a touch of rain, the snow came back, followed by the typical January cold temperatures. This past Sunday, I wandered around Shagawa Lake and the temporary community of ice fishing houses. Not many diehards were out. I thought it was because of the weather. Silly me. A friend later reminded me that the likely scenario was that most were at home, staying cozy and, more importantly, preparing to take in the Vikings football playoff game. For me - a perfect day to be out and about in the Winter quietude!
