Susan worked this last weekend so I took a solo trip to Domek Lesny. I have probably made the trek close to 500 times in my life time, if not more. There is one thing I have learned is that you always hit the bad weather at Stevens Point, Wisconsin. And that was true for this trip. I stopped in Stevens Point for a rest stop, it was raining when I stopped (at culvers). When I came out it was snowing. And snowing hard.

Traveling northing bound on Highway 51, (I know it is I39 now, but will always be 51 to me) , traffic was moving 20 to 40 miles per hour. Too slow for me. Liuckily the temperature was above freezing, so I did not have to worry about ice. I saw one roll over accident. But I made it safe and sound (in my normal time).

Saturday morning I woke up to this.






And one new thing I learned this trip. See the trees that are bent over from the snow? Do not shake the snow off those trees. Unless you want to bombarded by ice and snow. And when the tree whips back up in the air, hitting other trees and knocking down more ice and snow. My camera and blackberry were soaked.

Norte that the Ferns are coming back up. They will be fine. Nothing can kill those ferns. And the boat was about to sink, another inch or so of rain/snow and it would have sunk.

The snow was all gone by the end of the day. Actaully it was a very nice day. I was able to pick up more supplies for the boat house. And I was able to finish the repairs of the wood rot. And I fixed one of the over head door so it closes properly now. And I found out that all the digging I did around the boat house helped, no water got in on the side I repaired.
