It
is amazing what a few days can do when temperatures soar
from below average to well above normal. At Kickapoo Creek
Park early this week the water was heavily laden with snow
and ice. When temperatures started climbing, the snow and
ice began shrinking. With that and melting snow runoff from
surrounding land, the creek's water level is higher than it
has been in quite some time. |
