Gunflint Trail Association

Yesterday, as we were cutting and piling brush, we noticed some familiar white things in the air.  Yes, it was snowing on Gunflint Lake.  My first question was, "Where was this when we wanted it in February?!"  But my next thought was that moisture in any form is most welcome.  Light rain occasionally mixed with the flakes, and although it wasn't measureable, it was still great to see.  This morning when I woke up, the Canadian hills across from me had a white dusting.  All of this is good news for helping to cool off from the heat of the last two weeks' activities.

Now in the late afternoon, it is sunny and cool, the sky is a lovely blue and the lake is rolling along.  The restricitions have been lifted, allowing boat access on Gunflint Lake.  I hope soon we will see and hear boats traveling by, filled with fishermen anxious to test the waters and find some walleye and trout.  The weather report says that it will warm up in a day or so, and I expect I won't be seeing snow again for several months.
