Greetings and welcome!<\/p>\n
It has been another quiet week in the Northwoods. The gas prices and bad economy have really been slowing down tourism. Usually this time of year features a lot of people around during the week and it isn’t like that this year.<\/p>\n
We finally had some meaningful rain yesterday. It started mid-day and went into the night at a slow and then moderate pace. Local rain gauges show between 1\/3″ and 1\/2″.<\/p>\n
Tuesday after my report I went to town for a photo shoot. Later I took the camera out of the car before heading out to a local trail stop just after sunset. It made sense at the time.<\/p>\n
On the way there I saw were no less than 5 huge snapping turtles up from the flowage to lay eggs. There were deer and turkeys not in any hurry, and there was a huge full moon rising to the east in the post sunset medium bule sky. Curses, foiled again.<\/p>\n
The weather for the weekend will be a close call. There will be a storm heading this way, but it isn’t supposed to get this far northeast until later Sunday. The Green Bay forecast has them for a chance of showers\/storms Saturday and later Sunday. Around here the NWS outlook only has us for a slight chance of T-storms Saturday night and Sunday and then better chances next week.<\/p>\n
In the middle is some of my guidance that shows a chance of rain Sunday and an outside chance of a little getting here sooner.<\/p>\n
The plan is that the storm will have trouble getting to the NE 1\/4 of the state and that will delay things long enough for us to have a nice weekend. I will go with that for now, but I would submit that the similar scenario that had yesterday’s rain coming today didn’t quite work out that way.<\/p>\n
