Fickle Missouri Weather

The first two days of March were warm and beautiful across the Ozarks. Temperatures were in the low seventies on Sunday. I'm sure there were a lot of happy fisherman at the trout parks for opening day. I thought about taking the boys up to Bennett Spring just to watch all the opening day hoopla.


We decided to go down to Uncle Marvin's ponds instead. We put up the boy's tent, fished a little, and played pooh sticks in the little creek that flows out of the big middle pond. We didn't catch any fish, but we had a good time playing along the creek and enjoying what felt like a spring day.

The warm weather didn't last long. The temperature dropped steadily all day long today. Now, it's sleeting and we expect up to ten inches of snow before morning. It will be nice if it just snows and we don't end up with any ice. Ice storms every other weekend are starting to get old.
