Missing Winter

Between the book I'm reading -- So Cold a Sky -- and Ranger Bob's historic weather observations from the Apostle Islands, I've got a bad case of homesickness.  I'm really missing Winter. 

I'm not sure when the above photo was taken -- I have a vague memory of it being around the end of March in 1997, but I could be off by a month or two.  It might have been April. 

And, yep, that is a 1970 Ford F-100 sitting there. There's also a 500-gallon propane tank in the photo.  It's between the dog and the truck.
