by DOUG BUSEY
The water level has come up and is still rising slowly. Be on the loom out for floating debris. The County ramp is open for launching. There is a no wake zone in all of the ramp and cove area.

by MATT KOLES
Very cold at night to somewhat warm in the afternoons. Dry and cold. Very stagnant weather pattern. Hopefully, by the end of the month we see some undercutting of the high pressure ridge that has been in place. I’m sure we’ll have another monster month before Winter is done.
