Sometimes It Snows in April

4/29/26 – Big downy flakes of snow falling this morning, although I don’t think they’ll amount to much accumulation based on the forecast.

Ice out progress seems to have slightly stalled as of late, although a little more open water appeared near the Sawbill Creek outlet after an all day rain this past Monday. Lows in the 20s and highs only up to the 40s predicted through Friday night won’t speed things up in the near term, but a slight warm up beginning Saturday will hopefully get us back on track. -Jessica

As I approached the canoe landing this morning a trio of Common Goldeneyes took flight. They apparently had been hanging out in the open water near the point, until I so rudely startled them.
Looking north ice reaches as far as the eye can see.
