Water level is going down, but it seems we almost always get a flood before Christmas.

It's been a mostly dry week for a change.

Water clarity is down from all the rain, but temps are rising and summer is fleeting.

Mother Nature again reminds us that a little bit of widespread rain can result in a lot of lake level rise in a short period of time.

Lakes and ponds remain ice-covered, but with patches of open water.
