Re: [VFB] Excuuuuuuuse ME!!!! -->> Snow

[DonO]

We got 'dusted' last night with about 4 inches- just enough to make things messy.  It's been like that for 15 years.  Rarely do we have a snowfall where I HAVE to plow the driveway.  It snows, the wind kicks up, the snow is gone.  It's different up in the mountains nearby.  We're at 5500' and they're up at 7K+, so they get more, just not enough.  We need snow-melts deep into the summer (from deep snow-packs in the high mtns.) in order to fill Pathfinder & Seminoe Reservoirs again.  When we don't have enough run-off, the river gets really low & slow early in the fall, and then gets very weedy, making fishing tough.  If we're having a really warm fall, then the water temps rise, which is stressful for the trout.  One small benefit is some decent dry-fly action at dusk, but hauling in a ball of weeds with a trout in the middle of it is not too much fun.   DonO ----- Original Message ----- From: Richard Zieger To: vfb@troutnet.com Sent: Sunday, November 27, 2005 5:46 AM Subject: Re: [VFB] Excuuuuuuuse ME!!!! -->> Snow I think Buggs is getting snow now or will get more today from the weather report I saw.  In any case he needs to find something that was sent to him. :)   Rick
