Greetings and welcome!
The week has been a wet one thanks to a storm that really was moving slow. We are finally out of the rain and into pleasant weather. We had some heat and humidity along the way, and some really spectacular cloud formations and sunsets. Now that the cold front has passed we are looking at low 60s Saturday and low 70’s Sunday. A heads up, tonight the low temperature could be in the upper 40s, and Saturday night could go into the low 30s. Bring some warm gear.
In total we got someplace between 1.5 and 3″ of rain, depending on how many of the thunderstorm cells hit your particular area. The puddles and low areas are very full, and so are the creeks and rivers.

The whitewater rafting this weekend will be spectacular on the Peshtigo River. The rains this week hit that watershed pretty good. Right now my guesstimate is that it is running at about a +18″. That water level is just a blast. It isn’t uncommon to see that big of water in April and early May when the snow melt feeds the river. It is a treat when you can get it above 60 degrees.

Last week was wet too and with this week’s rain the green world has really taken off. The grass that didn’t need cutting last Sunday is now very high, and half way to my knee in spots. Once it dries out a little more I will be starting that task.
Also high on the list is working on the small lakes fishing boat. It is probably about time to get some of that premium early summer fishing before the weeds and lilly pads get too heavy.
That is it for now. Have a good weekend and thank you for visiting!
