Watershed Conditions Statement

Water levels on lakes and flows in the streams are presently at or slightly above normal for the time of year as a result of the January weather and thaws that happened through February. With the changing levels that can be expected over the next weeks, ice cover on lakes, ditches, local streams and rivers will be increasingly unstable. Caution should be exercised by everyone when near local waterbodies.  Parents should inform their children of the risks and provide appropriate supervision.

Wed., March 2nd

Far less snow, they say. However, the storm was to begin Tuesday night, and it didn't begin until after midnight. We'll see how much snow we get!

You certainly have had a lot more interesting weather than we did in Hawaii.

March seems to have been a lion for most of the month! There's an editorial cartoon in the last few days from a guy out west that addresses it, if you google Cartoon Ink.
