Last weekend we had a strong storm go through. Wind speeds were over 50 mph and rain, sleet and snow fell. Then during the week the temperatures stayed below freezing. Last week after the rain stopped we went to look at Bristol Bay as the tide was to be 8 feet over normal high tide levels. Waves were 12 feet high. It was amazing.
Yesterday, Craig and I went to see what the bay looked like after our week of cold temps. There were no 12 foot high waves as a matter of fact there were no waves at all. The water was frozen. You could see open water off in the distance but in our view was mostly ice. Close to shore huge sheets of ice balanced on top of one another. We saw a black object on the ice but far enough away that we could not make it out. We wondered if it was a seal or walrus. Then the snow started. Huge flakes whirled around and you could see an ice fog forming where the ice met the open water. It was time to go. By the time we got home the snow was really coming down and it came down all day. So today's plan is to shovel out.
