I'm curious where you get your weather reports in that format?

That's cold.. I've been wondering if a few nights here it didn't
get a lot colder than the weather app said it would. I've seen the
same temperature given on 2 nights, and one night the water pails
in the kitchen was filled with ice the next morning and yet the
next night that didn't happen.

Somewhat, but by this late in the winter all the open water is
frozen over for miles out, plus the coldest days would have wind
coming from the North which would not pass over the water here.

I was watching snowmobiles a ways out from my place on the main
channel that big ships use this afternoon. It tends to freeze
there last and 'least' so there's got to be a lot of ice for a
long ways out.

I'm currently sitting here listening to the wind howling through the
trees. That's been happening a lot this winter and I don't remember
it being that frequent in the past when I was staying here, but
that could be a memory issue rather than a weather change..   B)

The most exciting day here I remember happened in late November
one year. I don't think it was snowing at the time but the wind
was reported to have hit 165 kph (100 mph) and I seriously wondered
if the building would still be standing the next day, being built
at the top of a hill and up on pillars of variable height to level
the place from a few inches in places to over 3 feet high, mostly
at the front which was the direction the wind was coming from.
