Williams is thawing

Buckskinner16-01-23-02WILLIAMS — People have gotten used to the temperatures which froze over the reservoirs at Buckskinner and Santa Fe dams. Since early January, however, the temperatures have rarely dropped to freezing. That is thinning the ice over the reservoirs. People should take care when trying to walk on the reservoirs. The condition should become more hazardous with higher temperatures throughout this week.

A hole has formed on the Buckskinner reservoir as seen in the picture. In addition, the melting snow is causing very muddy conditions. Four-wheel drives are recommended if you plan to take a trip to Dogtown, White Horse or other reservoirs around Williams.

You might also want to take note that some animals are coming out in search of food. Some may be sick. Take care if you plan to walk off path into the woods.

Sunny weather through the week

Moon over Williams early this morning.

WILLIAMS — If you have those outdoor chores to do, this week is the week to do them. The long-range forecast show the temperature rising from a high of 39-degrees in Flagstaff and 41-degrees in Williams to the low 50s by the end of the week. That should burn off much of the remaining snow from the storm at the beginning of the month. Winds should remain calm throughout the week with a chance of around 13-mph tomorrow being the highest. A slight chance of showers returns Saturday night.
