As soon as October 1 rolls around, I’m ready for snowflakes that don’t stick to the ground. Once the dogsledding season starts on December 1, I’ll be ready to wake up to several inches of snow.
However, it is just plain premature for two inches of snow to be weighting down the tents of late-season BWCAW campers. But, that’s what campers found this morning. As I write this, it is about noon and some flakes are still dropping, and the wind is gusting.
The seven-day forecast calls for highs only in the mid-thirties. Maybe we’re in for an early freeze-up this year.
I snapped these photos this morning outside the cabin.
