The ice floes on Old Woman Beach are slowly melting in the March sun while the Old Woman River is still a trickle waiting for the snow in the bush to melt.
There was a thin film of ice on Michipicoten Bay this morning with a biting west wind across the lake towards the beach. The snow is 2 feet thick on the beach with no sign of melting yet.
The Herring Gulls have returned back to the Lake to stake out their nesting sites on the islands but I think they may be a bit early as it has been snowing non stop the last couple days.
