GLOBAL WARMING!

For the first time since the beginning of Cordry and Sweetwater Lakes,  the main bodies of both lakes failed to freeze over.  In recent years, we enjoyed ice fishing, hiking, skating,



and snowmobiling, on the lakes.  It was also interesting to hear the ice "cracking" as it expanded and contracted.  Friends tell me that Sweetwater froze over to a thickness of 3 feet in 1978.  (Year of the '78 Blizzard)  

MARCH SNOW

 We all enjoyed the warmest February on record.   March in Indiana always holds some surprises!  We rose today to rooftops and grass covered with a surprise snow!

WATER SPOUT!

 I came across Sweetwater Dam this morning to the sight of 2 water spouts!  The local fire department was conducting a practice/test of drawing water out of the lake with an elaborate pump system for emergency fire fighting methods.

TREES DOWN


 The high winds last week produced a number of trees down in the area.  Another big oak came donw on Badger Drive in a dead calm!  Can't explain!  It did have a big dead center in in it.  Thanks to Josh and workers at the Conservancy District for clearing the drive for Badger Drive residents.

FIERCE WINDS

 Fierce predicted 60 mph winds on Thursday, February 9th, whipped through the area all day.  Many trees were down causing power outages in several areas.  This cottage on Nettle Drive took a direct hit.  Brown's Tree service were quick to appear and remove the tree from the structure.
