Greetings and welcome!<\/span><\/p>\n

We are wrapping up one cold and rainy day. The rain started after sunrise this morning and is still going at 8:30pm. It was a pretty steady rain all day, and with temps in the upper 30s and low 40s it was chilly too.<\/span><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t have any ground truth on this, but the radar today was showing snow up in the Vilas Co area, and as close to home as northern Forest Co. There was a blob or two of white that briefly showed up around Carter a little while ago. I will check with some friends in Wabeno tomorrow to see if they actually saw the first snowflakes of the year..<\/span><\/p>\n

It has been cold in the recent past. I recall at least three mornings in the past week that I had to warm up the car while I ate breakfast to clear off the heavily frosted windows. The coldest that I have seen so far was 26. It\u2019s cold enough, but I am not too concerned about exposed plumbing just yet.<\/span><\/p>\n

We have been getting frequent rains too. One storm last week hit to our north and west with a lot of rain, bringing the Peshtigo River up to almost +18\u201d. That is pretty big. It is still about +6\u201d and we just had an all day rain. It has been a wet October.<\/span><\/p>\n

The fall colors are pretty much done. There are still patches of color here and there, but you can see pretty far in the woods now.<\/span><\/p>\n

The deer have been getting more active this week. Yesterday I had 9 different encounters in 20 miles on the way home from work. Some were e-stops, others close calls or deer bounding away from the roadside. I don\u2019t see that getting any better as the rut approaches. Keep an eye out for the deer on the roads.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is firewood season for sure. I have been making it, and burning it too. With LP under $1 a gallon I was considering installing a furnace and tank. I decided against it at the last minute, and now I am hustling to finish filling the wood house. I will be fine but there is work to do.<\/span><\/p>\n

Time to go and stoke the fire. Have a good week and thank you for visiting!<\/span><\/p>\n
