Anticipation

It's quite sad hearing the alarming weather reports from across the nation. A Nor'easter is heading our direction with the major impact expected to occur after midnight on Sunday. Monday will be messy with wet heavy snow. And this is mid April.
This time of year I am concerned about late snow accumulations, April showers, rapid snow melt due to rapidly rising temps, and rising lake levels that may cause flooding. Our little Kamp on the Lake can be very vulnerable. Water came up and into the Kamp fourteen years ago, and it seemed like forever before the waters receded. So every year at this time I get a little nervous. It would be so nice to open Kamp early this year.
Mother Nature is very powerful and all we can do is deal with whatever she brings our way, whether that means more shoveling or bailing out, or repairing damage. Makes me think about and appreciate all the more our fair weather days, and those breathtaking sunsets on the West Shore.
Looks like Monday may be a "snow day" work- at- home day. Keep safe, everyone!

Latest lake level predictions: 100.6 ft and holding, with a slight rise due to rain over the weekend. 100 ft is the official flood level. Over 101 ft and things get pretty dicey on the West Shore.
