Miserable Midwest Spring

[DeepCMark58A]

Supposed to get the dock put in May 7th, really starting to doubt that lake is still 95% ice covered. Been a horrible, snowy, windy winter in Central Minnesota and the spring we are at 20 days below average temps so far in April. If I see snow again I may shoot holes in my freezer.

I think you may have cabin fever.....
Somebody sound the alarm.

I do need boat drinks on the pontoon and I do not want to wear jeans and a jacket to do so.

I just took the dog out..... in my parka . Spring has yet to arrive. Lakes are still froze. 3 coldest April on record and the month isn't over...... EVERYONE is very frustrated.....

We have june bugs....... And 88 degree temps

Yeah ^^^ I've been mowing for weeks. I've already started sweating.

Mowed Sunday. Might snow tonight/tomorrow. Go figure.

Boat is still shrink wrapped - was planning on opening it this weekend originally. Might be off a couple weeks yet.

^^^ Acutally; last month - and I wish I could have gotten a picture to capture the funny moment - I was shoveling remnant spring snow (we typically have one last drop from Ole' Man Winter in early spring here) while one of my neighbors was mowing his lawn. Admiral and I got quite the crack up out of it.

Last Monday it was snowing and I was shoveling and plowing snow. This Monday it was in the 70's and I was mowing. Today it is raining and tomorrow they are calling for snow showers and temps in the low 30's. Mother Nature is off her meds and someone needs to intervene ...

You guys are hilarious......
Light snow this morn. Nothing has started greening up. Buds on trees haven't begun to swell let alone pop.....
High of 35⁰....

@DeepCMark58A you could always fly down. Woodys River Roo has a new Tiki canopy covering the whole area.

I would love to, unfortunately I am not able to be there till after school is out for the summer, my wife would kill me if I went without her. With the weather this spring my wife is watching saltwater fishing shows on TV and looking at Florida properties again.

you know that prices down here have doubled in the last year. if you are serious, will get the Admiral on the case. when one show up, need to pounce as inventory only lasts about 2-3 days

That is my view although I did see a bright glowing orb in the sky yesterday briefly.

I think my best option for ownership will be purchasing the family compound , only drawback will be explaining to my family that it is no longer the family compound.

in that case, if you need a contact at the title company for the paperwork, let me and the admiral know.

regarding the family, that is one thing that you are on your own for.....
