Goofy dang weather
Three days before Christmas, we got between 18" - 23" of snow in the area. That covered up what ice we had forming, so the -10 low we had Christmas morning didn't do us much good in the ice department.
Then in the middle of last week, it got unseasonably warm. All the snow is gone, including the 9 foot high pile we had back by our garage (my daffodils are even emerging). That got the flooding started. When we checked Acton Lake on Saturday, the loop road was closed at Four Mile Creek, the ramps were under water and the tailwaters were as high as we've seen them. There was still ice, but it was rotten and covered with a couple of inches of water.
Now last night, I wake up at 3a.m. to thunder and lightning - on January 3rd!! We've gotten 1.75 inches of rain since last night.
I wonder what this does to fish. This warm spell has no end in sight and the heavy rain is expected to continue. - Roberta
