Winter persists vigorously in Trout  Country. Although we had a significant melt-off a week or so ago,
it all returned this past weekend. It is none-the-less beautiful and has been
one of the most stunningingly beautiful winters in many years. There have been
many, many, days when I said “another photo op” and have taken several
excellent winter scenes. We went snowshoeing along the Cedar yesterday. Obviously,
it was quiet and full of natural wonder. I see the fishing shows are starting
up in the next few weeks so it is not long to spring. I hope we have a spring
as we did when fall fell to winter…literally overnight. I suspect that we will
have snow on the ground one day and warm spring weather the next. Our lakes
& streams should benefit from all of the snow we have had and hopefully,
the late (and wet) ground will be good for Morel hunting as last year proved
far too dry. Should be good for a reduction in wildfires as well.
