Our summers are warm and sunny, it’s not Wheatunusual for temps to get into the upper 80’s and low 90’s.  Sunrises in the summer, will take your breath away!  In the winter, it gets and stays cold enough to freeze our lakes and reservoirs to provide some amazing ice fishing!  Did we mention you can often catch the Northern Lights!
