ICE!

It looks like it's going to be a winter!  An ice storm arrived during the night and coated trees and roads with a layer of ice followed by a light snow mid day today!  Schools were out and power out for short period of time.  I thought skates would be needed to get to work,  but roads today are fine.

SNOW!

From Summer to Winter!  Snow on November 10th!

BOAT TAKE OUT TIME!

The boat ramps at both Cordry and Sweetwater have been busy with property owners taking boats out for winterization.  Boooo! 

SATURDAY HIGH WINDS

The area experience super high winds on Saturday, October 20th.  Power was out on parts of Cordry due to tree limbs falling on power lines.  Numerous limbs and twigs were everywhere.....certainly cleaned out the "dead wood!"  This aluminum boat lift top came from Osprey Drive and ended up on Sweetwater Dam.

CLEAR WATER

I am one of two people who do water clarity testing in the summer months and turn in the results to Indiana University (Yea!) at Indiana Clean Lakes.  I drop a black and white Sechi disk into the water and record how deep it goes before disappearing.  Usually in summer it disappears at about 17-20 feet down.  Today for fun, I tested and the disk disappeared at 28 feet!

THERE GOES WARM WATER!

Mid 80's on Wednesday, October 9th has given away to a 50 degree high today.  The steam coming off the water is an indicator of loss of heat.  Water was 75 degrees on Tuesday!

HALLOWEEN

My neighbor on Center Lake Road has gone overboard with Halloween decorations.  Looks great Tony Carrico!
