Frigid weather threatens!

For Friday and Saturday night the weather service predicts about 25 below Fahrenheit. People wonder if Lake Superior will experience a a total freeze. The lake freezes over completely about every 20 years.
In the last years the Lake reached these milestones:
2003 90 percent
1996 96 percent
1994 95 percent
1979 100 percent.



As more of the lake surface freezes, we have less lake effect snow along its shores.

This morning I replace the covers on our baseboard hot water radiators. The exposed heating pipes caused a system imbalance which funneled heat into the with the uncovered piped away from the controlling thermostat. Another result of our remodeling. I think I have the system back in balance before the real cold weather.

Certainly the snowman appreciates the cold He may keep his eyes a bit longer.
