Snow and Ice

I took these the week before Halloween (notice the scythe). The ponds and the river are completely frozen. We won't go out on the river, but lots of people are, including snowmobiles. It is much easier for people to get around in the winter, as snowmobile trails connect many of the villages. We are beginning to accept that winter is just the norm around here, summer seems to be just a short intermission connecting the regular season of snow and ice. -Megan
