That was really interesting. Thank you! I used to catch tomcod thirty five years ago when I was a kid while flounder fishing . Nice to see they have a healthy fishery up there. Not many around in the places I found them years ago the past couple decades.
Almost 150 geese and some ducks...Geese are feasting in the very green for early January grass. Never seen this many here at once. Maybe a sign that weather is going to change.
Funny second warmest year but the hottest temp was in mid April. All those high 80 degree days add up along with the warmth the rest of the year. And it was a crazy humid summer.
I am surprised too that we only had a few scattered tiny flurries one day this month...if you blinked you missed them . Couldn't even muster residual lake effect flakes on a blustery west wind.
This is a great post. I too, can't believe the lack of winter in the northern plains, Canada and upper Midwest. Even in NNE they were just barely cold enough most of the time when it did snow.
I didn't think we would go down through December without any measurable snow but it looks like it's possible. Doesn't happen often but I remember winter 06-07 where we didn't get measurable til the end of January.
Dear Mother Nature
Please blanket the entire region with a few inches of snow so most folks will be happier. Please stop these SE Screamers.
Thanks for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely
