The Roller Coaster affect in Salmon Country.Wed in the fifty's with rain and now a lake affect snow warning is issued for Thurs and probably go on for a few more days.If we have a normal spring and summer there should be no lack of water come fall.
YES I'm already looking forward to it!!

Anybody out there? Was just curious as to how much snow there is on ground after the thaw and the new lake effect. Dime...Clint....Lucky....2b.....anybody

Around Rochester we went from green to about an inch.
Llowing and cold but little snow.

all i can report is winter has returned and the Ice is fine..
no snow of any amounts right now .. A few squalls here and there this up coming week with a possible 6" in the eastern daks come friday..
Did I say the ice is nice ?? Gotta 4 day run next week :)
Hows the SR doing ??
 
 

SR is still over 2000, extremely cold and blowing.  Smaller tribs are dropping now with the cold, and were probably great Wednesday and Thursday, at least around here.  Enjoy the hardwater, conditions for ditch fishing currently don't justify any lengthy (and chancy) driving.

Well I missed the thaw, the rain, the wind and then the snow when I was gone.   My dad said it was 60 green grass on Thursday and now I am home  16 degrees and a fresh 6 to 8 on the ground with more on the way

Update got 10  or so on Sunday night Monday.   about an inch this AM.   No to prepare for the "blizzard"  that is coming   Friday and Saturday.   Again with the blizzard stuff.   One report I read said.   "Northeast preparing for the blizzard, up to a foot to fall in some parts."    C'mon  

Dude keep that blizzard up there.. You need it for flows and fish ..lol
I just want clear black ice :) Weather reports are all over the place.
Last week they were saying 6" on friday ( Schroon lake).. Then monday it was 2" , now up to 10" and your talking Blizzard...  Locker room talk today was 20".. My gosh, I'll be ok just make up my mind.. lol....  Snowshoes are packed..
 
Seems the SR will be flowing OK too into spring :) Smolts :)
Should be a sweet transition, Ice, Steel, Stripers, Pond Brookies, & Stream trout == Salmon, Big 0 this time :)
At least NY got that part right ..

When the snow finally hits the ground that's when we will know the amount.  Until then its nothing but speculation.  As long as the power stays on I couldn't care less how much snow we get or don't get. 
You're right HT, all this precipitation points toward good fishing in the Spring.  Hurry April, May and June. 

TB, I have no use for snow except water conservation.. Other then that, it's all work.. Give me ICE COLD any day over snow.. Walk on , in water or stoke the fire, my choice.. No hassle to deal with, well, frozen guides ..lol
 
BTW:
 Bobby is joining Jorma tonight at Sweetwater, Ca.. Should be a nice set :)
Will say , NY has fish, the west coast has the music scene down...
