sometimes it's painful in the light of the truth.

To not to have entirely wasted one’s life seems to be a worthy accomplishment, if only for myself. Bukowski

Morning y'all,

It's another snowy, blustery day up top. The high yesterday reached 14 degrees. The overnight low was 8 degrees. It was 12 degrees and mostly cloudy at 7am observation. The mountain received 4 additional inches of snow, bringing our snowfall total to 9 inches. There are deeper drifts around cabins and near the trails, so be prepared for a slog if you intend to hike more than a mile or so up any trail. As of this posting, Highway 441 is closed. Check the Park Service's twitter feed for updated road status. Enjoy the snow world!

The change in landscape forces a change in mindscape. I am sure this hold true for everyone, everywhere - but the change is just more dramatic up here. With a few inches of snow, my world is transformed. I am no longer able to notice the drawbacks of being cabin bound, but my hopeful mind is forever looking at snowflakes in wonder and finding new excuses to be entertained and astonished by the beauty around me. Powdery blessings abound!

Glad to see you are getting some of your much wanted snow. It seems like the Lodge would get the early fall storm and then nothing for the rest of the season.

Be safe everyone

I look at the Bayfield webcam most every day & the 'ice road'.

My family has a cabin on madeline island. I've taken the ice roads plenty of times.

What a beautiful place. Wishing and hoping in the near future to hike up Mt. LeConte on a snow covered trail. Enjoy every moment that you can in this special place.
