Roger Blough caught me sleeping this morning! Usually I go through a morning computer routine first thing, but with the return of more winter like weather and no sunshine, I snuggled in for a few more winks. But, in going through last year's photo's, Roger was also upbound a year ago today, so I am using that photo to show the contrast in ice conditions.

Roger Blough entering Lake Huron, likely with a destination of Duluth or Two Harbors.  One year ago today ice conditions were very different on Lake Huron and the St. Clair River.
