Location: Chisholm, MN | We were supposed to get 12" of snow the last two days but we lucked out and only got 2". Next week looks beautiful so that should take care of most of the snow so we get on with spring! Still 3' of snow in the woods. |

| Typical Spring day here in WI. Was 55 degrees at 9:00 AM when we left S. Milwaukee, and 39 degrees when we arrived back in Rhinelander a little over 4 hours later. Flocks of robins down there, more geese up here on the river. We have had much colder winters, snowier winters but one nasty thing we had this year were a number of freezing rain events. The Antigo Rehab center took in dozens of barred owls who were found on the ground, so weak they can't fly. They depend on finding mice under the snow but can't get through the layers of ice and are starving. First time in the center's history they have large numbers of owls like that. |

| Ice just went out on the big pond/lake/duck slough behind my house, on Monday. Migrators started showing up yesterday. Sat on the deck tonight, and watched skeins of buffleheads, mallards, woodies, mergansers, gadwals, and wigeons, zooming in and out like fighter jets. Heard a loud ruckus on the water, and saw a couple swans trying to take off from the water. Watched 5 deer nibbling twigs off of all the big limbs that came down in the yard from the heavy snow storm a little over a week ago. One of the neighborhood pileated woodpeckers came swooping onto the suet feeder. Seems like spring just exploded here. Had our first 50 degree day, 7 days ago. Had our first 60 a couple days later, first 70 a couple days later, our first 80 yesterday, and it was 90 in my yard today. Freakin' crazy. Going back the other way with highs in the 40s this weekend. |
