Supposed to get a big rain event Friday.   Will quash any skim coat  we may get, maybe bring the water back up too

I HATE MUD season. It's winter for cripes sake, freeze this crap up already.
Almost didn't get out of my yard yesterday morning. Instead of fishing, I will be putting plow on atv and try to back drag the ruts.

Quite a bit fell all local streams creeks are brown and muddy

Not the greatest job but it's better. With temperatures still above freezing I bailed on local ice today, to wet on top.
Gonna go make some noise with the chainsaw before they get snow covered on some trees I dropped.
Believe me, I'd rather be doing this instead.
The ice was nice where I was 120 miles north of my house yesterday but after being up for 20 hrs, I'm not into the long drive today.

I really can't do anything due to my elbow, been trying to rest it whenever I can. I have  20 trees down to get at before next heating season. Should be 1.5 years worth I think

Still nursing my elbow. Weather has been blah. Rain then snow then repeat. Does not look any different for the next week. No ice around here. River is raging time to rest I guess
 

Freezing rain last night. Rain today.
I currently have wet semi frozen MUD.
Heard something about being cold again the end of the week.
At this point, I don't care unless its locks up my local perch pillage lake or the queen of lakes just to get people OFF the other Lakers lake.
Plenty of hardwater within 90 minutes right now anyway.

Just got my gardening catalogs in mail and already looking but that's a topic for another day.

Yes 1/8 inch here everywhere. Below 0 by the end of the week. Some snow is forecast, but mostly for the hill

Got about six inches of snow and alot of blowing. Temps are sharply colder. Winter is here........... 

5 below at 0600 or so wend now up to 5anove at 0900. Beautiful sunshine and no wind. I can hear the ice building........
