THE WEATHER REPORT:

"The Weather Report" is a conversation about the weather beyond the forecast. It's how we talk everyday with friends, family and co-workers.

What an excellent weekend as the sun came out - at times - in force. We’re almost there where we will see sunshine on a regular basis, but right now, some snow showers are forecasted for Friday. It shouldn’t amount to much. At this point, most of us don’t even pay attention to snow. It melts almost as quickly as it comes.

It’s been nice to hear everyone talking about opening their windows to let the fresh air in and circulate the air in our homes. You can even have the heat on and it won’t start up because the air is warm and the sun is shining with some clouds.

The highlight over the weekend was the world record ice carousel spinning in St. Agatha on Long Lake. The ice held up well with temps in the upper 40’s to low 50’s. Close to shore where the ice is not as thick, a side-by-side went into the water. Crews worked together as a team to get it out.

The next preparation to focus on is hornet and wasp nests. Keep a regular lookout for the big build all around the property. If you see them starting a nest in the morning, the thing could be huge when you come home. Get some spray - costs about $2.50 - and aim it at the source. You’ll be thankful you did before it gets too big and they invade the area.
