Current River temperature is 60\u00b0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sring fever has definitely set in a little bit this week with the warmer temperatures finally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a>Between rain and wind we have not had a very good spring to start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I’m in the same boat as any other contractor who works outside.The crummy spring has put us all a little behind schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There was an extremely large tree in front of burpee museum out in the channel that was a navigation hazard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is what is known as a deadhead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Almost completely saturated enough to sink to the bottom yet still had a little flotation on the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Rock River homeowners association put forth some donation money to have my crew relocated up onto the riverbank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It was an entire 50 ft tree with a root ball still attached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It was sitting at a 45\u00b0 angle in 11 ft of water with only one foot of it showing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Glad we were able to get that removed before the boating season and eliminate the potential danger to boaters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We have been getting several days of rain but it has not amounted to much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With us coming out of a drought the ground soaked up 99% of it so our River has slowly been dropping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 5 ft on the gauge at Latham which is 12 in above drought level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Temperatures in the 60s this weekend might get a few more boaters out getting their boats wet for the first time this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Have a great weekend everyone and be safe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Current River temperature is 60\u00b0 Sring fever has definitely set in a little bit this week with the warmer temperatures finally.
