We sometimes see a Christmas Ship this time of year.

We've been seeing a lot of them lately. Without really looking I saw at least 5, all downward bound yesterday. We went down to Erie last winter and saw a few in layup, we've thought of going up to some of the ports in Canada to see them. Walked right up to Mckee Sons/Invincible (Mckee Sons was converted to a barge with a notch in the hull for a tug, and it's paired with the Invincible) at the dock, couldn't really get near any others though. We're addicted to Boatnerd.com because you can see them on maps in real time, then look up pics so we can see which one we're looking at out on the lake!

We use this site quite a bit to check ship locations, especially when it's this cold. Our cottage is in Cape Vincent.

Not really cold here yet, just barely freezing. Weather Network says -22 (-8F) next week though.
There should be a few feet of snow out there by Christmas time.

For us it's fog, though who knows maybe we will see some snow this year.

This morning at the family cabin where we at Thanksgiving dinner.

9F at 7:30. The ice next to the dock wasn't there yesterday and was over an inch thick when I broke through it to get water to flush the toilet.



Around 8:30 I went into the nearest town to pick up some RV antifreeze so I could winterize the cabin again. We passed a guy trying to launch his boat. On the way back he had it part way off the trailer and he was hitting the ice with a shovel or something so he could get it the rest of the way off the trailer.

Here he is a bit later fishing. It's probably about 15 degrees when this was taken.

Sometime between the 2 my 4yo went outside to play with her new snowshoes.

^ I'll be doing that tomorrow. First time putting the hooks on in a while, but there shouldn't be any snow involved. Gotta change six insulators and guy a pole, and then a bunch of other stuff I can reach with the bucket.

I could do a little cleaning on these.....

Nothing really winter like in the Lower Hudson Valley yet.

My new camera arrived yesterday and the ice is coming in the morning.

Film at eleven.

What did you get?

I'm testing a sports cam for the drone site - has a neat high speed feature for capturing slow mo......check out this link for a test I just did....or this one of me stirring up leaves in slow mo!

Wow, this thing might be cool for pics of flames.

More camera than I need. Canon SX160 IS.

Fossil, that is one bad ass pad. Very nice.

Here's a couple from the past couple days. Forecast has us reaching one degree above freezing next Thursday.

[Stax]

Wow. What a layout. Fossil, is your entire house timber framed?

 

[fossil]

Oh no, it's not.
