Everyone Talks About the Weather...

We've had a bit of well-needed rain today too. It was warm earlier in the week (Monday was 75F/24C) so I enjoyed the season's first campfire and stargazing session out of town.

But winter isn't quite ready to go quietly into the night; a frost (and probably a freeze) will likely occur early Sunday with yet more snow possible near the North Shore of Lake Superior.

Many state lakes are having record late ice-out dates - kind of a big deal in a big fishing state with the walleye opener coming this weekend.

Edited later: Frost this weekend...followed by forecast highs that could reach 95F/35C next week. Ugh.

It's very springy here, warm and sunny and then cool and rainy and then warm and sunny again. It's currently 65F and very cloudy, it rained earlier this afternoon. However the forecast says it is going to warm and sunny again. It look like it will be sunny and over 80F on my birthday, yuck! I was hoping it would be cooler and maybe rain this year.

Looking forward to tomorrow. Nope. No fishing for me stargazer. I gave up on taking part in all that madness long ago. Funny thing about this year though. I usually joke about opening weekend being the only time other than winter that you can walk across the water. ( From one boat to the other ). But this year there are some lakes up north that there may still be enough ice to walk on.
Forcast calls for wind tomorrow. I hope to be driving with it. With gas prices the way they are for the opener I need all the help for mileage I can get.

No fishing for me either, Puddleglum.

We've passed 100 pages, so I'll close this thread and redirect our weather conversation to the opening of part 2.
