NOT A NICE WEATHER FRIDAY AND IT MIGHT BE WORSE SATURDAY

 CONSTRUCTION IS ABOUT TO RESUME ON THE BAYFIELD BRIDGE COMPLETE WITH A COUPLE ROAD CLOSURES NEXT WEEK

Our overnight storm did not dump the amount of snow forecasters were predicting.  We might have got half an inch.  It continued snowing most of the day but it was a light snow and didn't really amount to any kind of accumulation.  Biggest problem was the cold southwest wind blowing all that light snow around making it 'not a nice day'.  Pheebs and I cruised into Bayfield for a wee drive but were home again less than an hour later.  A weather advisory says snow squalls overnight and blowing snow in the morning possibly causing bad driving conditions.  We'll see what happens.

 A COLD BLUSTERY WINTER'S DAY AND NOT NICE TO BE OUTSIDE

 HEADING INTO BAYFIELD I SAW THESE TRUCKS PARKED ALONGSIDE THE ROAD

 THIS BAILEY BRIDGE IS GOING TO BE CLOSED A COUPLE DAYS NEXT WEEK

 SLIPPED DOWN TO THE HARBOR TO CHECK ON THE TIPPY FISHING BOAT AND SAW SOME EQUIPMENT SITTING AROUND

 THEY MAY HAVE HAD TO PUMP MORE WATER OUT OF THE BOAT

 STRONG SOUTHWEST WINDS WERE AGAIN WHIPPING UP LAKE HURON

 AND OF COURSE YOU KNEW WE HAD TO TAKE A DRIVE THROUGH THE CEMETERY

 AND PHEEBS DIDN'T EVEN SEEM TO CARE WHEN THE WINTERY WINDS BLEW MY HAT RIGHT OFF

Looks like construction is resuming on the Highway 21 Bayfield Bridge.  Signs are up saying the bridge will be closed to traffic Tuesday and Thursday of next week.  A very large crane is on-site and I think they might be planning to set the bridge's steel arches in place.

 THAT IS ONE MIGHTY BIG DARN CRANE

 I THINK THAT IS ONE OF THE LARGE PIECES OF STEEL THEY MAY BE LIFTING

 I THINK THAT RED THING IS PART OF THE CRANE ASSEMBLY

Blog reader Caddie in a comment wondered about the big salt mine in Goderich's harbor.  Here is a link to the largest underground salt mine in the world with its long mineshaft running over four miles out under the cold waters of Lake Huron.  World's Largest Underground Salt Mine and Here Is How The Operation Works.
