MCKENZIE LAKE, Friday. — McKenzie Lake may look for an overcast sky this day, with the mercury climbing to about 12° before sinking to -3° by night. That is some 8° milder than a typical November afternoon in McKenzie Lake, where the average high is 4°. Barely a breath of wind stirs from the ESE, gusting to 6 km/h, and the glass is rising, a sign of settled weather.

Of the 7 days ahead, Saturday looks the finest at near 16°, while Thursday night will be the coldest at -8°. Not a drop is expected in that time. Those keeping stock should see to the water troughs, for ice is likely.
