March 10th Pelican Lake Storm

Pelican Lake Orr MN Weather Report for 3-11-09

Wow!  Another 10-12″ blanket of snow.  Temps. dropped from the mid 20’s to minus 1-5 this am.  Schools are delayed 2 hours, due to blowing and drifting snow.  By the weekend we expect 30-40 degree temps. and lots of melting.  Needless to say, the lake level should be high this spring.

Bundle up today and stay warm.  Winds should die down by noon. 

Put on the coffee pot and enjoy the winter wonderland.  Thanks Grubby, for plowing me out this morning.  He reported that drifts were up to two feet on Pelican Road this am.

Pelican Lake, Orr, MN Weather Report & Animal Sightings

Today looks like a  slightly overcast day with mild winds and temps in the 10-20 degree range.  Just right for frolicking in the snow; skiing, sledding, fishing.

Deer are becoming more active and Carol spotted a large Timberwolf yesterday crossing HWY 23 on her way to town.  The warmer temps have a positive affect on everybody and everything!

The birds have been very active for the past two months, downy woodpeckers, redpolls, pine siskins, bluejays, nuthatches, black-capped chickadees, pine grosebeaks, american tree sparrows, finches and lumberjacks are most common.  I have also seen our resident pilliated woodpecker couple as well.  Carol has spotted a box owl or two along the ski trails behind the lodge.  Birdwatching has been fun…We average between 1-20 birds + two squirrels at the feeders at a time.

Neighbors report that they have not seen any wolves on the lake this winter.  Perhaps this soon will change as well.  The lake had quite a bit of slush on it this year, due to the heavy layer of snowcover.  We will keep our eyes peeled.

Enjoy…John…
