Lake Lucerne
We got rain! About 0.3 inches was emptied from the gauge on Thursday morning.

On Friday morning, it was clear that it rained overnight.

It turned out to be only 0.2 inches but hey, rain.
Lake Lucerne
We got twice that amount the next night and more was on the way.

On Saturday afternoon, it got wet and windy.

After the storm passed, another 0.3 inches was poured out of the rain guage. That's about 1.2 inches in just under 3 days. Rah!
Lake Lucerne
Much time was spent diving under the fresh sky-water in the lake. Underlake activities included ...
Lake Lucerne
collecting golf balls,
Lake Lucerne
saying "hi" to bluegills,
Lake Lucerne
swimming through swarms of fishlings,
Lake Lucerne
and scaring kids with discarded crayfish claws.

The time between the drops was also used for a few golf rounds. The NCC is in good shape. The water hazards are particularly full.
Lake Lucerne
The lake level is holding, if not going up a little. The stream in the northeastern corner is still dry, so don't count on the watershed pushing the level up much until we get a really big storm. There is talk of a very big storm hitting on Tuesday. There is also talk of a very big bear bruining around near Hwy 8 and Bear road. Careful going to the dump or Crandon lest it dent/eat your car.
