First order of business

Posted at 12:47 PM on April 29, 2008 by Craig Edwards (0 Comments)

The voice mail box of the weather complaint department has been maxed out after the chilly weather the past couple of days.

In order to get spring back on track we need to get rid of the snow pack that accumulated on Friday and Saturday. Bright April sunshine is busy at that process this afternoon. Ice cover remains on the northern lakes; additional sunshine on Wednesday will help the thaw continue.

A wet weather pattern appears to be setting up for Thursday into Saturday. Don't expect temperatures to climb to spring like readings this weekend. My goodness, you would have thought turning the calendar to May would have generated at least afternoon temperatures in the 60s.

As we slowly transition into spring we will be dealing with the emergence of pollen, ragweed and the initiation of allergies. This is Air Quality Awareness Week. Book mark the following Web sites for reference throughout the spring and summer.
