Road Report December 2, 2011.

Hello Fellow Leech Lakers,

What a mixed bag of weather here this week! We were lucky to have missed the freezing rain, instead we got alot of heavy wet snow. Yesterday the hydro and phones were off, but all is well now. The weather is overcast and pretty mild outside today and snow is melting.
The roads have been cleared, but please be careful as we have a lot of large pot holes. While doing the snow removal on the south side we hit a deep hole and did damage to "the terminator" to the tune of $400.00, (cost of doing business but not to worry we are up and running). We would hate to see this happen to anyone's vehicle. The paved hill on the north side was quite icy this morning, and the sand barrels have not been topped off yet However there was a small amount of sand/salt mix in the blue barrel at the side of the road. We applied what was available to the hill, so just take it easy and drive with caution.
WELCOME to those who are new to our lake. You may have noticed that there are barrels along the side of the road. Inside these barrels should be sand/salt mix and a scoop so when anyone comes across a slippery spot, just scoop and throw some of the mix on the road. This is done on a volunteer basis and when we all do it, it helps everyone traveling our lake road.
For those who are interested: the Santa Clause Parade comes to Bracebridge on December 4th.
We hope you enjoy the photos (3 in total) and have a safe and enjoyable weekend at Beautiful Leech Lake.
