So OAHE has come up 4 ft in the last 2 weeks with 3 of those in the last week! Since this winter it's come up about 6 or 7 feet. I'm doing this on memory as I don't like going to all the other pages of that site. But I know it never got below 1590 but maybe was close to that. So around...

The bottom picture is 40 minutes later and is leaving a whole new set of tracks in the snow. So you have TWO DIFFERENT ANIMALS to begin with. The last one looks to be a porcupine, and the top one is much more difficult. I'm guessing a mink.
Plus, the Walworth County commissioners are constantly fighting each other over other issues, and their meetings over the last few years are dramatic comedy.
This is the Yates ramp today 4/17. It's right at the bottom of the old concrete. The new is probably 25 ft but not very steep. It flattens out quite a bit at the end of the old ramp.
