Drove down to the local marina early this morning and noted that the
channel was pretty much iced over, though not solidly. I drive down
there about once a week, and today's ice was the first I've seen this
year or, in fact, in several years. I remember one year the inner harbor
in Deale, Maryland, was completely iced over for several weeks.

Doubt the ice is thick enough to walk on and I have no intentions of
finding out.

Not a biggy...we simply don't see much of this down here in the
mid-Atlantic area.

Speaking of ice.... I still have about 4" left from 2 weeks ago....
that usually means more is on the way....


Speaking of ice, I need some more for my drink. Luckily I live at 3700'
elevation, and we don't get a lot. My cabin gets socked in for 4-5 months a
year, though. The Interstate near us climbs from 3700 to 5000 in 13 miles,
and another 1,000 ft. in the next 13 miles. Always lots going on there with
the California and Nevada drivers.
