Good Morning!!!!!!

Mornin' comrades! 27 at choretime heading for a high in the mid-30's. Received about 5" of snow overnite. It was a quick hitter fortunately. Got another .64" of rain prior to it changing over to snow. The snow was some sticky wet crud. There was .56" of liquid equivalent in it once melted out. Should keep us in mud for a while. Hate to run out. Figured I'd let as much melt as possible before ripping the yard up with the tractor. Could've probably used the blower earlier but for just cutting a path in the driveway couldn't see hassling with it. More tax stuff to finish up, do the chores then heading to Albert's Leaf tonite for supper. Rather stay home and take a nap. Not used to being such a social butterfly.

 Morning boys.  Up and at em early today.  SO I just checked the forecast and the 6-10" of snow for us has changed to 10-15".  Isn't that special as the wife said.  Winds up to 55 mph.  Starting Tue around noon till Thur night.  Things were just starting to dry up here too.  26 now and headed to 44 today.  Pretty cloudy so may not make 44.  Windy too from the south.  The windmill is really humming.  No big plans today.  A Mikey go with the flow kind of day I'm thinking.  First thing I need to get us some coffee.  See ya later. 

[mike89]

mornin all, 31 at the moment may get some warmer again today...  not much going on today..  just some cooking..   have a good day all!!

Morning boys. 26 here to start the day. Forecast says 40 something but like LPS said it is cloudy so we shall see. Out in the fish house sipping some unleaded coffee hoping for a fish to bite. Certainly not liking that forecast for snow LPS. Have a good one boys.

Mornin all, 36 here & they're sayin we'll see 62 later. Windy with a litttle rain mid-week forecasted here. Not much planned today either. Have a good day.

[Jerkbiat]

Yup Glenn, I pulled the bid house off 2 weeks ago. I was just using my small house after that. Houses had to be off the lake if not occupied after 3/31. This one will go back in this afternoon and up on shore.

Looks like a pretty slow day around here today. And yes I do drink beer from a glass with my pinky finger extended thank you. Later....

Mornin' comrades! 34 at choretime heading for a high in the low 50's.  Managed to rip the yard up more than I would've liked moving snow. This is one of the most screwed up dooryards I know of to move snow or mow lawn. Nothing flat or straight. When the settlers established these building sites in this area, it didn't matter. They were primarily interested in finding a hilltop site so they could set up a windmill & use gravity to water to their livestock. Everything else was just sort of piecemealed around that. I'm just glad as many of the crappy little buildings that appear on old photos are gone. More work to do in that dept. Next time I see snow like yesterday morning, I'm putting the blower back on. Easier than picking up big hunks of sod, dirt & shoveling up crushed rock.

This is really a different spring.  Usually once the river starts opening up it goes and fairly fast.  We just went for a ride upriver to the Frontier landing.  A week ago it was open enough that guys were pushing smaller boats across the ice to get to the water.  Usually it would have been a couple more days till it was wide open.  Not so this year.  There is still enough shore ice that guys are still pushing boats over the ice.  Not even a sign of open water at Vidas.  That is 6 miles upriver from us so about 9 miles from Frontier @  That usually takes a couple of days to get open water after Frontier is open.  Some years it takes a couple of days until we see open water after it is at Frontier.  This may be the slowest the river has opened up that I have seen.  Lots of snow on the ice too.  We usually see the ice changing colors as it starts to open up.  Not this year.  And more snow is on the way.  Maybe a lot.  Strange for sure.

[mike89]

mother nature playing with you for telling everyone spring is right around the corner maybe!!!!   

[LPS]

Yup can't fight Mother Nature.

Opening fishin this year might be tough, although the week I have off mid June could be lights out. Afternoon peoples 47 and feeling pretty good outside.  Gots my haircut earlier,  hit home dump for a few things and grabbed some eggs n milk at kwik trip since there on sale for 1.99, milk 2.99. Think I better look at Mark's fav site CL, looking for a 14' aluminum boat don't even need a trailer or motor for some back water fishin. Anywho better get back outside....See ya!!!

Morning boys. 32 here to start the day. Not sure what the high is supposed to be. Sounds like the snow starts tomorrow later in the day. Fish houses are up in the yard ahead of the big storm. Well just getting ready for another day in the salt mines. Have a good one boys.

[glenn57]

Guess Folgers coffee is going on sale. 6.99, less then 1/2 the price then last week. I be getting 2.

[mike89]

mornin all, 30 here and hope to see 36 today..  still yapping snow here the next couple days too..   thinking about making a trip to Alex today and get that done for the week..   oh well...   have a good day all...   

[Gunner55]

Mornin boys, 37 here & on our way to 51. Pretty windy again yday but still a lot of people outside being that it was 60+. Been a bit under the weather since about Friday but started feeling a little better yday. So, I think I'll take it a little easy again today. 'Bout it here, have a good 1.

[LPS]

Morning boys.  32 here and even the gravel driveway is slippery.  Yesterday my new real cool thermometer kept going up.  It was up to 53. Then I got suspicious and put another thermometer out and it was only 47.  I will change batteries in it today.  They just showed on the news that we are expected to get 11.8" of snow by Wed.  Will get everything parked so I can plow easily.  It is April 3, we shouldn't be having this weather.

Should top off the truck with gas today before trapshooting tonight due to upcoming weather. Not sure if the kids will even be able to shoot yet. Too much snow. Tractor is full. Nice picture of the little guy glenn. Congrats again. On to Craigslist, Later.....
