Things were a little better today, but not by much. There were a few more ducks and gulls. Numbers were still pretty low however. the weather was partly cloudy here but there were areas of snow east and west of here and that may have slowed things down a bit. Around 11:00 it started snowing here with occasional squalls and that has continued much of the afternoon. There was little movement on the lake this afternoon.
