Greetings and welcome!
Well we survived the tropical depression this week. The storm prediction cone that they use on hurricanes and such showed the path of the low going about 2 miles west of my house in Silver Cliff.
In the end we had a couple of inches of rain and some very windy days. The NWS radar returns didn’t follow the storm long enough without resetting to get a storm total out of it. The USGS gauge by Kosir’s shows about 2″ of rain from the storm itself, and 2.25″ for the week. The wind didn’t do much damage, I have a couple of small branches down from it.
The Peshtigo River went from about +6″ to about a +18″. Whitewater rafting this weekend will be exceptional. Call Kosir’s at 715-757-3431
Between waves of rain I took the dog out for a walk mid-week. I made it about 50′ before I doubled back for some Repel. The wet year is not lost on the mosquitoes or ticks. The former were really plentiful and quite hungry. Bring Repel, and I use the 40% stuff.
I can’t tell you how the fishing is yet, I have been so busy that I haven’t even started work on the boat. It should be about prime right now. Maybe next week.
There is some live music in the area this week. Saturday afternoon there is live music outside at Rustic Inn, and Saturday night at Caldron Falls Bar.
We have a nice weekend ahead, but bring some warm gear for the evenings. The NWS says that we could have a high of 62 Saturday and 69 Sunday. The forecast for here is for a low of 37 tonight and 39 Saturday night, but the frost advisory says that some areas could see upper 20s to low 30s. Remember when I warned about planting stuff before June 10th? Sometimes even that is a little early. Welcome to life north of the 45th parallel.
There have been some absolutely incredible sunsets in the past week. Go on FaceBook under Crivitz Area Talk, there are a lot of pictures there.
Time to go and get on that to-do list. Have a good weekend and thank you for visiting!
