We went paddling on a lake with some friends yesterday. There was some snow on the ground around the lake in spots, not a lot, but some. The water was about 33 degrees and the air about 70. We met the park ranger and he said it had snowed every day last week. When we got to the lake road into the parking lot was gated so we had to carry the canoe and kayaks in about 300 feet. When we left I took our canoe over the little dam and canoed it down closer to the car since the canoe is so heavy. On the way home we stopped at one of the streams and had lunch. It was a very pleasant day.
