The higher temps this week have made some of the snow go away, and the ice on the bays is looking a little iffy (though I did see some ice fishers in Bowers Harbor yesterday).
This is the time of year when Mother Nature teases us into believing that spring is nigh! But we know better. It’s certainly nice to see some sunshine after a long winter, and who knows what the rest of the winter will bring.

Until then, here are some photos of winter around the Old Mission Peninsula – including families enjoying the ice, playing hockey, having a neighborhood get-together, ice-fishing, a few turkeys and deer, blustery weather and more.
