KEEPING OUR FINGERS CROSSED

COULDN'T HURT, I GUESS...

...THAT'S PRETTY MUCH WHAT IS HAPPENING

Tuesday, 8:30 AM.  26 degrees F, wind variable, light.  The sky is overcast, it is snowing lightly; fine, icy crystals, of which about two inches has fallen.  Freezing fog enshrouds the channel.  The dusting of new snow covers up the ugliness of the deteriorating snow cover, but that's all I can say for it.
   The church on Hwy. 13 south of Washburn has an intriguing message posted on its information sign: "Pray for a slow melt down." Can't argue with the sentiment, and actually that's what we have been getting for several weeks now, so one might assume their entreaties are being answered.  Anyway I guess their efforts couldn't hurt.
   Another week or two of similar slow melting and we shouldn't have too many flooding worries (absent a repeat of last year's April and May storms that dropped about five feet of late snow on us).
   We'll keep our fingers crossed as well.
