It was about 10 degrees fahrenheit. Small icebergs visible in the channel. Fishing tug broke ice to get out of the harbor.

Before I could take another shot, the light went out.

In January 2018, I drove through northern Kansas, I saw many abandoned farms - almost all the country houses were abandoned. The small towns that I drove through were (at best) semi-ghost. The farm places almost all had open gates and there were few "no trespassing" signs. The people who farm these lands now live elsewhere and since there is no stock to keep fenced in why close the gate? I decided that I would go back when the weather was better but unfortunately it looks like I won't be able to make it - at least for now.
From my observations along US 36 this area has been completely devastated.

This 1920's 65 horsepower traction engine was belted up to the sawmill and went to work. The lumber was used to build a hay wagon on a modern rubber tire frame. The scrap pieces were used to fire the boiler.
Many steam engines survived the scrapper in Wisconsin as they were in use during WWII. Much like horses, all the fuel needed could be harvested locally.
This was a very interesting exhibit at the Agricultural Heritage Days at the Kewaunee County Fairgrounds.

I was wondering how they would get the belt tight - just jack the tractor back!
