Sposed to be cool for the next few days around here but then climbing to about +6 by next weekend and staying like that for awhile, so that should get some melting happening.
Hope it doesn't cause any damage to your place.
We have deer everywhere around here Cliff, infact there's 5 or 6 in the yard right now and usually a few turkeys too, but I NEVER see any rabbits so maybe your fox & owls came from this area LOL
We only got 5" over here but it's about 4 degrees right now so it's really heavy, but the good thing is it's melting too. I've got a gravel driveway and cleared it a couple hours ago and most of it is bare now.
Big Cliff is over on Sturgeon and he said they got 6-8" so you should be somewhere in between.
I keep a couple bird feeders going all winter outside the front window and it's always nice to have a few dozen birds here all the time. Jays, chickadees, cardinals, finches, mourning doves, plus whoever else decides to drop in for dinner.
They were bang on for my area last night, both with the amount of snow and the time it would start and stop. They also said we'd get some sun this afternoon and that's exactly what we have right now.
Course it's not very often that happens
Late 50's, early 60's my brother and I used to fish the Narrows for springtime perch in a 6' wooden punt with a 3 HP motor...Evinrude if I recall.
Seemed like a pretty decent boat back then

Garry, my next door neighbor has a place in Yuma and has been there since last October and just got home last night. I was just talking to him a few minutes ago and think he's in shock right now after seeing all the snow we've still got.
We have a member on this board that posts as Lake Ranger and she's an amazing artist that specializes in animals. I had her do a 19 x 24 pastel picture of my dog a couple years ago and couldn't believe how nice it turned out.
I haven't seen her post here in a long time and don't even know if she's still around or can be contacted, but just thought some of you dog lovers may be interested.
Just another nice way to remember your friend.
I'm gonna be at Lakair over on the West Arm the last week of June and then again the first 2 weeks of August.
Maybe we could get a few local OFCers together for a little musky G2G
