hm8 Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 What are the odds of every station not getting to average? I mean, statistically speaking, the same odds as every station getting above average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can get use to this real fast! There's certainly been some abysmal days in there, I'm not totally a masochist. But overall, it's been bonus time for this self-professed winter lover/hater of heat and humidity. Alas, I'm running out of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In late response to the local weather guy's claim that it's been warmer than normal in that timeframe, in Lafayette. Maybe Hoosier can let him know.

BowMeHunter Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Pretty miserable day trying to get some fishing in.. either rivers were still to high or the lakes too cold with 3 foot waves lol.. On the plus side every lake I went to had at least two and as many as several not including me. Will try again tomorrow with the nieces.. County Parks are stocked with trout and jumbo perch for the kids and the winds will be a lot lighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
