B-r-r-r-r-r-r.....


It's a bit nippy up here.....

The Grand Traverse Bay has frozen solid for the first time in 6 years, and Monday morning's temps ranged from nine to twenty degrees below zero.

There are ice shacks on the lakes with snowmobiles sitting next to them with men (mostly) sharing stories and catching fish- remember "Grumpy Old Men?"

If it's seventeen degrees and sunny, people walk around with their coats unzipped- it feels toasty!

It's fun to watch.....

    The fishermen are in "shanties". They mostly drink and tell lies.
