    April Blizzard Predicted next week

    Measuring snow received is probably the most difficult thing to do accurately. What I recommend to people is to choose a spot that looks "representative" of the greater surround area. Then I use a measuring stick in the form of a 3/8 copper pipe that I have the number of inches from the tip on...

    Sakakawea letting precip go downstream.

    Not true. Lake Sak doesn't necessarily have a bright future when it comes to water levels this summer, but it is the reservoir that is to be favored for steady to rising water levels during the early part of summer for spawning purposes. I'd suggest in the future to immediately dismiss such...

    April Blizzard Predicted next week

    db-2, I'm not so sure we will see a lot of runoff from this. Thus far the weather forecast is for a fairly slow climb in temps, and since it's all sitting on thawed soils, I am guessing we will see a lot of this disappear right into the ground. I'd be a lot more concerned if we were expecting...

    Link? I guess I'm not sure of which part of the page you're referencing. I just looked at Bismarck's precip total via the hourly forecast and it still had precip amounts for us. https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=46.7651&lon=-100.701&unit=0&lg=english&FcstType=graphical

    April Blizzard Predicted next week

    Back in the good ol' days of $1 gas, this would be cause to grab a shovel and go burn a tank of gas on the backroads. Now I sit and cook ribs at home as I watch the snow pile up on the deck. I must be getting old.

    April Blizzard Predicted next week

    Yep, there's been an inkling of a second round come next week. Still a bit too far out for the NWS to really have much confidence in it materializing, but it's been on the backend of the models for several days already. Damn chains fell off my snowblower's tires during the last event and I...

    Expedition Bigfoot

    That may very well be the most definitive answer on this topic that I have ever read. Period.

    Boat camping?

    That is a fairly specific request. I've had a few of these through my life. I hope yours work out better than my average hair-brained idea. When it comes right down to it, we are often disappointed in the outcome. Nonetheless, they make the bestest of stories that you may be telling for many...

    April Blizzard Predicted next week

    Remember, this is just one of many models, there are others that aren't so generous. That's why one rarely sees a given model run as the actual weather forecast, there needs to be a bit of a balance between the models that are overly generous, and those that show pretty near zero.

    As of this past Wednesday, here in Bismarck we were frost free down to 22 inches, but then it was still frozen from 22-44 inches. - - - Updated - - - Let's not get carried away with what this means for the big lakes. Sheesh...

    Expedition Bigfoot

    Not so much of a bigfoot believer, but alien life is nothing but a mathematical probability to me. Now, whether or not they have the tech or the give-a-shit to come and visit us is a whole different subject. Is Earth their zoo, and is the concept of traveling that far across the universe...

    Sakakawea Outlook 2022?

    Yeah, the bottom line is the upper Missouri (including most of ND) has been quite dry the past 6-8 weeks. And that sucks, we were in striking distance of a near normal runoff at the end of January, but things have really gone downhill since then.

    2022 Island Vacation

    Man oh man, it's really tough to like you when I read about how "easily" you're living the dream. Just nothing short of an incredible experience, and I am just damn jealous... And those cuts of meat look fantastic! I'll pay the shipping for a couple 12 oz cuts. Heh heh heh... - - - Updated...

    Bird Flu

    I think the problem here is that it's a human health hazard. Is it common for the avian flu to infect humans? No, not really. Have people contracted it and died from it? Yes, and probably often enough to where if your position in life is to help prevent epidemics/pandemics in people that you...

    Lowrance Live vs Carbon

    I run an HDS, Gen 3 with a 7" screen. All I can say on that is a 7 inch screen is not enough to provide the detail when using sidescan and downscan. Pretty disappointed overall. So given we are talking Lowrance, I'd want at least a 9 inch screen going forward as I've heard the separation and...

    Bird Flu

    I have a few dead birds at my place. I see a Canada Goose died overnight and is floating in the pond. Yesterday morning I also found my rooster dead, for no apparent reason. There have also been some smaller birds laying around, but I tend to have so many birds out here anyway that it's...
