Greetings and welcome!<\/p>\n
The rumors are true, we had some snow last night. I saw it start as a mix a little before sunset. By the time that I got home at 11:30 or so we had 2″ on cold surfaces and it was still snowing.The roads weren’t holding any snow, but the ditches and trees along the road were flocked pretty well.<\/p>\n
The radar showed that is snowed for a few more hours, and this morning several neighbors were reporting 4″ around here and up in the Old J area. It didn’t last long between the April sun and the mid-40s this morning. A look out of the window at 1pm found only patchy snow in spots that didn’t see morning sun. Open areas are green again.<\/p>\n
Both the early week storm and last night’s snow storm brought measurable rainfall. Yesterday’s storm in particular made gravel roads soft and filled big puddles. At that point we will see reduced fire danger, two thumbs up for rafting, and I am going to predict some rapid green growth too.<\/p>\n
The early week rain bumped river levels for rafting up a little, and the Thursday rain and snow is doing it again. Right now the Peshtigo is at about +3, but I am predicting the rise to continue until we see 5. It should be a fun river this weekend with decent levels and a pushiness that comes with rising water.<\/p>\n
