A long hard winter

It's been a long hard cold winter here. This picture was taken from the dining room of our clubhouse looking down on the harbour. The boats below belong to the diehard liveaboards who brave the cold and snow, and live on board their boats. We've had lots of snow this year which should help keep water levels up in the spring and summer. The last picture shows all that's left of the Lakeview Generating Station that used to be located next door. It's been completely removed and there's no sign of debris left. It's nice to see it gone, but it's going to much harder to find our way around the lake this season, as the generating station with its tall smoke stacks was a great aid to navigation on this part of the lake. Only a couple of months to go to launch.
