Diane Rossi sent this picture, taken yesterday. She said the guy she talked to was from Georgia, Vermont. The ice on the bays of Lake Champlain is not safe to be on, so that's probably why lots of avid fishermen come here. Thanks for the photo, Diane. Viewers - click on the photo to make it bigger.

We had a below-zero night again last night, but the sun is bright and it's a beautiful day this morning. Not very warm - about 10 above right now, but an improvement over last night. The sky was clear and there was a bright moon again. I resisted the urge to go for a walk after Fred told me it was -5.6 outside.
