The weekend is here, and it’s going to be a great one. Let’s start it off Todd Style..
Get out the fishing poles, the sunscreen, and all of the stuff that you would enjoy on a great weekend and jump in. We have one line of showers and maybe storms coming early tonight, then we are looking at a mostly bluebird weekend. Saturday should clear out and get into the low 80s, and Sunday looks nice and in the mid 70s.
It is free fishing weekend this weekend. You don’t have to get a fishing license to go and hook ‘dem lunkers. The solunar tables are somewhat favorable, Wednesday was a new moon, and yesterday and today are peak days. Saturday and Sunday aren’t far from it.
Saturday the 4th is also Marinette County Parks free admission day. You can go and check out the waterfalls, beaches, and parks without paying the $2 entry sticker fee.
June 4th- Nicolet Plastics Fun Run
Nicolet Plastics and the Pirates of the Northwoods Parrot Head Club are sponsoring a 4 1/2 mile walk-run around Maiden Lake – This is a family friendly “fun run” or walk, with a kids run afterwards. – Several area fire departments and ambulance services, including Mountain, are the beneficiaries of this fundraiser.
The whitewater rafting at Kosir’s is still a great option. The Peshtigo River is at about a +3″, still a little above normal for today. The Menominee River is running over 2,000cfs, and the rivers are warming up in time for some tubing and sit on top kayaking on the flowage.
The chuckle of the day comes from the NWS, who seems to be having problems with their web site. I was doing my research for today’s update and ran into this. Expecting a bluebird weekend, I had a WT.. moment. It is still there as of 1pm.
I have a lot of respect for the Green Bay NWS folks, but today I’m not following their lead.. Thanks for the Friday chuckle.
Have a good weekend and thank you for visiting!
