Winter won’t quit. Yesterday at my buddies

3 miles from the cabin

Beaver hut at the top of picture. Ice is probably 2 feet thick and covered with snow. No beaver trapping for awhile

60 miles south of the cabin we were melting good but
Got some snow tonight and is calling for another foot

Our weather has been all over the place with frequent over 60F temperature changes from one day to the next. Lately it's mostly been too hot, in the high 80s. It's supposed to go down to 30F on Sunday. I wish it would stay with the high in the fifties and lows in the forties.

We are high but not dry, ground is saturated with rain the past week, another couple of days of rain before a dry stretch. Several neighboring communities are under flood warnings with several roads closed for washouts and high water, couple of towns are under evacuation orders along the Wolf River with record or near record flood stages. The Wolf is not expected to crest until Saturday.

Cool videos though of the sturgeon (fish) swimming in peoples' yards, parking lots, and up and down the streets.

Been wet and warm here lately.

This weekend going back to normal with 40°F-50°F for highs

Going to have a couple nights around 25°F. Probably lose my pear crop thats bloomed out. Might even freeze the apple buds. This up and down temp range can devastate my fruit tree crop.

Up to 2 days ago it's been a cold winter and cool spring, everything is behind

Crazy weather for sure. Yesterday it got to 86 degrees and humid. Walked out side this morning and under the outside light there were at least 8 big June bugs laying around. We usually don't get them till the end of May. The birds will clean them up. Back to the mid 50's next week as it should be for this time of year. Flowers popping out all over. Lots of birds all ready nesting. We've had lots of flooding here also. Grounds soaked.

Normal Mo so far cold one day hot next. We so far have missed all the storms. Little rain storms have missed us so for don’t have to listen to the word global warming (starting to use the buzz word again) there for a while they were using climate change. (Buzz word) if I ever started over again I become a weather man. Tonight could be interesting. Want to go trout fishing but my spots are messed up based on precipitation maps. Coffee time I’m done ranting

we are really dry here. Can't ever remember it being this dry this early in the year. Been warm and windy

Might be the last dump of snow today, but the winter tires only come off just before May Long.
I got a few beaver sets out but the frost is still in most spots. Muskrats are piling up though.

It started snowing again late last night , no it won't add up to much but it's moisture which we always need !
Yesterday the 3 different mountain ranges were socked in with storm clouds and when you did see them they were snow covered .

The weather service was claiming the snow pack in the mountains was normal or slightly above , then the other day they changed it to all but a severe drought conditions ?
One of the mtn passes was shut down because of all the wrecks going in both directions , traction tires and tire chains were strongly suggested and tire chains on the drive tires and rear Adams on the semi trailers .,

It's been a long time ago but I've driven over those passes this time of year and remember seeing snow drifts or burms that were 8' tall or higher .

I'm sure White and ole Blister would trade snow with any of us !

Some new snow, bur storm slipped south unfortunately - was hoping for big dump to help fill up sloughs and lakes!

A lot of rain last week. Frost this morning. Got blueberries and quinces blooming so hope they'll be OK.

This spring we had power so thats good unfortunately a 3 foot snow dump lots of rain and warm temps led to a lot of bridges and culverts washing out leaving a lot of folks unable to get home or leave home for myself doing fine
