August 22, 2016 8 AM Update
Now up to 65 degrees on this beautiful Monday. There is a northwest breeze at 15 mph. The dew point is 57 degrees and continuing to drop. Looks like we have a beautiful day on tap followed by a beautiful week and weekend.
I’m not crazy about having to go to work today but you got to make money. The weekend looks great. I’m leaning towards old Betty Brook and Mine Kill Pool for the weekend. Not so far and if I get stuck at work late on Friday, it’s not a big deal. I like to think of work week as the intermission between the weekend.
Gas prices are up a few pennies this morning but may drop again with today’s drop in crude oil prices. The summer driving season is rapidly coming to an end. I know we have two weeks left until Labor Day, the unofficial end of summer.
I fully expect some color on the maples along Muskrat Pond and Indian Lake at Moose River Plains by then, especially with today’s cooler temperatures. We have less than one month until autumn officially starts, and usually peak color at the Moose is the fourth week of September.
