Hey Whitewolf,

I’m hoping you can help us with your expertise. I’m wondering if you can give us some predictions on what this crazy spring weather is going to do? Tons of rain forecasted for the arrowhead this weekend…will that help get the ice melting, or make no difference? Should we be nervous about ice out approaching the fishing opener? Will all of this precipitation from the winter help bring water levels back up to normal? How have you been? Thanks in advance for taking the time to help us out.

Tony

Quickly-
#1 it will help get the process going no doubt. After all it's better than snow.

#2 I think most W areas of the BW will be fine for fishing opener as far as ice out.

#3- 10th snowiest winter on record for the Arrowhead NWS Duluth mentioned in their hydrological Outlook the other day. I believe in the 92-93rd percentile. That's huge. I don't know for sure if thats enough to get to normal but it's a darn good start.



Very well. Thanks for asking!

Enjoy the weather it's the only weather you got.

Man you’re quick! Thanks so much! I appreciate it greatly. I’ve got a permit for the 16th of May on the Ely side and I’m starting to get a little nervous that we might have to break some ice this year.

You think there's any chance we can actually launch into Brule on May 12th?

Slight. But let's wait see what the rain and warmer temps do this weekend and go from there.

Just two of us for this trip and we’re heading in Lake One and wandering over to the Insula, Alice, Thomas area for a week. You?

Went for a walk this afternoon and actually complained about how "hot and humid" it was. (67 deg F/76% humidity)

Tonight, Tornado Watch.
Tomorrow, High Winds and Snow.

Tony, I'm going in heading your way from Snowbank on the 20th. I'll look for you. I won't be in the Blackwater, but in the
voyager with rudder.

I’ll keep my eyes peeled. It would be fun to run into you. How long is your trip? Are you coming out Snowbank as well? I hope this ice gets to melting fast.

8 days, in and out of Snowbank. I plan on putting on some miles. The ice situation is not looking good though and I checked the permits for a slightly later entry, there's nothing available.
