Sunday morning's cold temperatures left Little Traverse Bay frozen and made an interesting view from the top of Pintail Peak. Growing up in Petoskey and living for a bit in Harbor Springs you really get to know the bay, and it becomes a topic of conversation, especially in winter. It wasn't until I started teaching in Charlevoix that I found out not everyone cares about the frozen, or unfrozen, state of Little Traverse Bay. For those of you that care, the ice has broken up again and just the edges of the bay remain frozen.Besides the view, I tried to think of other effects the ice covered bay would have on skiing. I decided that it means less lake effect snow, but mostly in Petoskey as opposed to the ski hill. It does follow, though, that there will be less shoveling and more time for skiing!
