Looking forward to some April showers

Winni’s running a bit low according to the blue line.

Very much so re lake level. We were out on the dock a few days ago, and the lake appears to be about where it is in late August, which is a bit unsettling. Let’s have a rainy April!

Yup. The lake is very low. By in large the snow seems to be out of the mountains.

yes. I was out on dock yesterday and noticed the water level was not much higher than it was at the end of the summer last year, I don't remember being this low last March. Hope its not a sign of things to come.

We need rain but I hate the mud!

The second half of winter as been unusually dry. Add in a slow melt from the February low temps and I am thinking we have seen very little mountain snow melt. Mother Nature always evens herself out. So I guess we are looking at a wet April and May. Oh course, you can always open up a “farmer’s almanac” if you want a reliable forecast

I live on a dirt/mud road. So I get to experience 6 seasons.

I can say we drove around the lake yesterday and it concerning how low it is. Slip at Melvin Village are Mud and Silver Sands too. Anyone with Water Front may have issues using their slips. The amount of rain we will need will be astronimical
