95% or more of our snow has disappeared in the last week or so. We have had incredible weather with highs in the 60 and lows in the 40’s My prediction of ice out by May 1st needs to be revised to earlier. Today is April 20th and all I see is rotting ice as far as I can see on the main lake. I now predict by this weekend, say the 28th or 29th. We no longer see any ice fisherman venturing out very far with ATV’s, or snowmobiles on the main lake.
I opened up the road into Oak Point Estates this past weekend. The gravel road is in great shape with no mud holes to get your car dirty on. Seeing more deer out by the roadways with shoots of green grasses attracting some attention. We are also seeing more birds coming north. One more sure sign of spring is the filling of potholes by the public works crews. The rumor is that the Oak Point Road will receive an overlay of new bituminous this year. Yea, Yea.
On the flora front we are seeing tulips and snow drops starting to pop up. During the next two weeks we will have more activity on this front. We will have plenty of wildflowers that will start shortly to beautify the forest lands.
