“Ice, Ice Baby!”
Kelleys Island hovers low on the eastern horizon.
For a brief moment on Saturday morning there is ice-glee around the Bass Islands. From west to east, from north to south, thin ice sheets danced across Lake Erie’s Western Basin. Air temperature hovers in the mid-twenties (F), and Marblehead Station reports the noon water temperature at 32.5°F. Shanties may not pop up anytime soon, but the partially frozen inland sea lifts spirits for all of us who thrive on weather dynamics!

Massie Cliffside Preserve is one of the most peaceful places for a walkabout. On today’s excursion we discovered an alligator, other natural wonders, great views, and specially dedicated benches. [Photos by Donna Steinbach]

At 1:18pm, NOAA issues a Hazardous Weather Outlook:
Patchy freezing drizzle and snow are possible today and tonight. Slick spots may be possible on untreated and elevated surfaces. Minor snow accumulations of less than an inch are possible on Friday.
