IWXwx Posted July 2, 2018 Author Share Posted July 2, 2018 Nice catch Buffalo. I'd like to do that sometime, but never have attempted it. Walleye is my favorite fresh water fish to eat. Does anyone know why NWS switched back to all caps in their products. Every time I open one, I feel like they're yelling at me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Burlington, Vermont had a low of 81. That's just ridiculous for that part of the country. Now just have to hold it through tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here on Lake of the Woods/Rainy River everything 19.5"-28" must go back immediately, but I think the general consensus around here is if you want the best tasting walleye, target keeping the 14 inchers, even the 19 inchers start to taste poor.

UMB WX Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Yeah I'd rather eat a Jonger smoked carp over walleye that size. Walleye is overrated to begin with. That body of water is a walleye factory though.. Enjoy. Barf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torchageddon Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 I still haven't had a single thunderstorm YTD IMBY for 2018. Statistically this is a near impossible streak even for my storm-barren region. I normally would have 8 storms by now. Was a switch flipped off somewhere? On 7/3/2018 at 12:11 PM, michsnowfreak said: Impressive.

Did you stumble on anything from 1911 or looked into that summer? I continue to see 1911 pop up and I'm curious about its geographical reach regarding heatwaves.

Of course the smaller ones are more tender and better tasting. But as already stated, they are the best tasting fresh water fish IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyweather Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Seen on Facebook: pic from a few days ago at Whealkate Bluff in South Range (MI) as they are clearing the trail for an event this weekend. Said they have run into snow several times so they finally stopped and took a pic. And it has been a hot summer up there so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were in Merrillville on Thursday and got to watch that great thunderstorm roll through, then spent yesterday at Wrigley where even though the good guys lost, a person couldn't ask for better weather. One more day of low humidity and sunshine, then back to swampa$$ corn fields. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torchageddon Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 2 hours ago, BuffaloWeather said: Coldest summer in 100 years here in Iceland. I looked into this and it appears May and June (and so far this July) have been a nightmare for good weather lovers in Iceland. 2015 was one of the worst in Reykjavik, 2016 one of the hottest summers. What's really happening is they are getting stupid amounts of rain, wind, and cloudiness nonstop with below average temperatures since the start of May. I was amazed when looking at their 7-day and current obs, no sun just rain everyday and sitting around 10ºC . I'll say this, if I was living there I would move heaven and earth to get the hell out of there for this pattern and be in the exact opposite climate: southern AZ (of course!). Its absolutely beautiful there (Iceland) and near the top of my countries to visit "list" however I can't imagine how crazy I'd become with a pattern that atrocious! They are going through their 2014 . On the flip side here in ON this pattern has been fantastic: ultra dry, sunny, hardly any clouds or rain (nearly none!) and best of all warm . The 7 days coming up look superb, no clouds or rain really. Both today and tomorrow are 32ºC. Here is a NYTimes article in plaintext (good for low bandwidth) about the crappy weather in Iceland.

While May 1911 was one of the warmest on record, the summer of 1911 was not an exceptionally hot summer here; however there was a brutal heatwave July 1-5 which caused some loss of life and a ton of discomfort. It made the front page of the daily newspaper each day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
