The Caretaker's Concern: TCC for 1/10/09

One Caretaker's story of living (mostly) in solitude on a private Island on Lake George in Upstate New York, as told through daily photographs and musings/ramblings (well, daily in the winter; every four days or so in the Summer and mostly just photos in the Summer).

A Very Brief Glossary:
GHETTO--Name for the cabin that the Caretaker lives in, a single story structure, about 220 square feet/20.44 square meters.

Living Conditions: End of October to early May, no running water, Island population: 1.
Early May to end of October, running water, Island population: ranges from 1 to 20 or so.

TCC for 1/10/09

The Caretaker's Concern 1/10/09

Lake Temp. No more Lake temperature report, Lake george is frozen.
Ghetto temp. 31 F.
Island tmp. 16 F. Today's L/H: 12/18 F.

Current conditions: Snowing, white-out conditions, wind from the Narrows, about 5 mph.

Lake iced over today, not pure black ice but close enough, unfortunately the current snowfall will most likely render the ice useless for skating tomorrow, however, since it is rather cold out the Caretaker is hoping that the snow will not stick to the ice but instead blow away. Plenty more to share about today but will have to wait until tomorrow.

All photos for this post are from today.
