Our only nod to the winter season is to turn off the water pump and drain the pipes. We usually do this around Veterans Day. We continue to come up almost weekly during the cold months and make do with buckets of lakewater or melted snow if the lake has frozen over.

For the last 6 years, we have been able to put the water line back in and turn on the pump by April vacation/Patriot's Day. Not this year! It looks like we are at least 1-2 weeks away from turning on the water and "opening up" for the season. I can't wait!
