February comes to a close as memories linger of breathtaking snowfalls that allowed skiing, snowmobiling and ice fishing. The month was chilly as we went from our January mild days to colder temperatures and snow. Islanders were happy with enough “powder” to venture even to Garden Island to snowmobile. Pop up shanty’s appear in the harbor or inland lake and business continue to provide great food in weekend brunches or fantastic pizza nights. Morning sunrises are meant without a sound. Winter on our Dark Sky Island is quiet, pristine and and so relaxing.
