Greetings and welcome!
There is no question about it anymore, winter is here.
When I was out chasing supplies Wednesday I was surprised to see the Townsend Flowage frozen across. Waubee Lake had about 2/3 coverage. That has probably progressed quite a bit. Wednesday night we got down to 10 degrees and last night we got down to 7, and our high temp today was only 27.
We also had some snow and now the ground is all white, though there is still some grass showing through. That snow made roads pretty greasy yesterday. They had treated them with salt earlier in the week for a light snow that made it icy, but when we were out Thanksgiving night there were still plenty of slippery spots on main roads, and town roads were completely ice and snow covered. Winter driving is sure here.
Now the forecast for Saturday is for about 2″ of additional snow and the possibility of some freezing rain mixing in at times.
I am not sure how the gun deer season is going yet. On the big buck contest boards there was a lot of white space, so it doesn’t seem like it is up much. Unfortunately that is not a lot to go on.
That is about it from here. Have a good weekend and thank you for visiting!
