2007-2008 Weather Board! Weather Report –Friday May 23, 2008, 4:00
p.m. We thought we were
through with the weather reports for this year, but Mother Nature sometimes
does strange things in Forest Lakes. When
it snowed up here about mid May, we were out of town. When we returned our neighbor indicated
that it had snowed all day and left about 5 inches on the ground, which was
entirely gone the next afternoon. It
looks like we may have a similar situation with this storm. It started to snow early Thursday morning
and has been continuous day and night ever since. With all that snow we have very little to
show for it. Since the ground was not
frozen the driveways and the interior roads show zero accumulation. This morning much of the forest floor, the
trees, roofs and cars were the only evidence of the amount of snow that had
fallen so far. Our cars had a good 6
inches and although the snow has continued no further accumulation can be
seen. Our best estimate is that we
have had another 3 to 4 inches today which would give us a total of about 10
inches, but it is melting as soon as it hits the ground. So basically we have about 2 inches of
accumulation on the forest floor, very light accumulation in the trees and
the roof tops and no accumulation on the roads and driveways. Also Highway 260 is wet but has not frozen
at this time. This could change after
dark. Our high today was about 35
degrees so freezing is a likely possibility later on. The snow has gotten heavier in the last few
minutes and the cars are again starting to show some accumulation. The weather service indicates continued
precipitation through tomorrow morning.
The winds have been light and variable. Because of the continued
snow and the very wet conditions due to its rapid melting, THE ANNUAL PANCAKE
BREAKFAST DUE TO BE HELD SATURDAY MORNING HAS BEEN POSTPONED UNTIL MONDAY
MORNING. Also
fire restrictions both in Forest Lakes and the forest have been temporarily
lifted and our fire patrols have been discontinued for he holiday
weekend. Except for the possible
accumulations tonight and the probable freezing of the snow melt on highway
260, expect muddy interior roads but so far all passable with normal 2 wheel
drive. If you do venture up
prior to the end of the storm, also be mindful that the snow is heavy at
times and could pose visibility problems.

4/10/08 The
last snow of this winter-------- we hope Weather Report –Wednesday April 9. 2008,
3:30 p.m. Just a quick update on
the weather conditions here in Forest Lakes.
We had a completely dry March, no moisture of any kind. This dry spell continued up until this
morning. We woke up to very light
snowfall and moderate wind. By about
10 o’clock we had a light covering of snow on the ground, nothing on
the road. Around 11 the sun came out
and by noon all traces of the snow were gone and the temperature had risen to
about 48 degrees. About 2 in the
afternoon the sun disappeared, the temperature dropped to the low 40s and we
are again getting light snow. Little
if any is sticking to the ground at this time. Looks like this will continue into this
evening. The weather service indicates
sunny and warm tomorrow. We
don’t want to alarm people, however, for those of you who have not been
up here since our heavy February snow and ice, there has been considerable
damage to a number of buildings. We
have seen and heard of house damage, but so far we don’t know of any
houses that have collapsed. There has,
however, been a number of outbuildings destroyed, both wood and steel. It would be advisable to have your property
checked either in person or by a neighbor as soon as possible. The main culprit was a thick layer of ice
that formed early in the winter and did not allow the snow to slide off the
roof as it normally would. Most of the
snow and ice has melted and the interior roads are in good shape. However,
there are still some areas that have solid ice berms 2 to 3 feet high so it
advisable to check with someone before you come if you expect to drive on to
your property. With the expected warm
weather most of these remaining berms will probably disappear in the next
week or two. If you wish to contact
us, you may e-mail us at kcsvs@frontiernet.net
or by phone at 928-535-3361 Weather Report –Monday March 17. 2008, 8:00
a. m. There really has not
been any weather to write about since our series of large storms last
month. Our weather has been generally
clear skies with warm days into the low 60s and cold nights down in the 20s. We did have a little snow yesterday, snow
flurries all day, nothing heavy. We
ended up with a light dusting. The
leftover snow from last month has turned to ice and is slowly melting. We are down to about 50% coverage. Most of the roads are dusty, but there are
still some muddy areas. The berms
range from zero to 6 feet high depending on location. This morning is bright and sunny with no
wind and the temperature is 21 degrees.
We hope you are enjoying the pictures we have been able to add to the
website. We plan to use this ability
more extensively in next winter’s reports. It came a little late to do much with it
this year. Happy Saint Patrick’s
Day! We will keep you posted. If you wish to contact

Old Rim Looking East 2/8/08
The corner of Wildcat and Old Rim Looking W. at Old Rim
2/8/08 Weather Report –Friday February 22. 2008, 8:00 a. m. There is nothing new in
Forest Lakes. It is still
snowing. It is beginning to feel like
this winter will never end. It snowed
on and off yesterday with no accumulation.
Last night the snow stopped for awhile but then began again this
morning. So far it has been light but
it is starting to accumulate. Looks
light about one inch. The weather
service indicates up to 4 inches today and then showery tonight and tomorrow
morning with little more accumulation.
The interior roads have become a big problem. When it thaws after each of these storms,
the water has no place to go so the roads have become very rough and very
muddy. There is an area on Sheep
Springs that is almost impassable at times.
With care you can get around most areas with 2 wheel drive, but 4
wheel drive is much preferred. We have
lived up here full time for 13 years and cannot remember the roads being any
worse than they are today. If you are
coming up for the weekend use care.
Current conditions are breezy with light snow, temperature of 28
degrees. Check with ADOT for highway
information. We will keep you
posted. If you wish to contact
us, you may e-mail us at kcsvs@frontiernet.net
or by phone at 928-535-3361.
Ice sliding off roofs is hesitant to break off Weather Report –Thursday February 21. 2008, 8:30 a. m. It was cloudy and
blustery all day yesterday, but there was no sign of snow until about 11
o’clock last night. We woke up
this morning with 5 to 6 inches of new snow on the ground. I guess winter is going to hang in there
for a little while because the weather service indicates another storm for
tonight and still a third storm for Sunday.
Right now we have partly cloudy skies with light wind and a temperature
of 30 degrees. We are still
experiencing occasional light snow showers.
The snow is now so high in my front yard that I can no longer see if
the snowplow has been through. It
appears that someone has cleared the snow from around Mr Uhlman’s camera
and the snow stick is now visible again.
We will keep you posted. If you wish to contact
us, you may e-mail us at kcsvs@frontiernet.net
or by phone at 928-535-3361. Weather Report – Friday February 15. 2008, 11:15 p.m. The snow continued all
day moderate to heavy. We started to
see a few breaks by midafternoon, but it basically continued until dusk. Our best estimate at this time is that we received
a total of 15 inches. There was very
little wind, but we had occasional whiteouts due to the heavy snow. The trees are pretty well loaded. The interior roads have been plowed and the
berms range from 4 to 6 feet in places.
The current temperature is 28 degrees.
While watching TV we learned that highway 260 had been closed between
Heber and Payson for part of the day.
This didn’t surprise us because the storm was quite intense at
times, but we had been checking the ADOT website and never saw any information
regarding that closure. Anyone coming
up for snow this weekend will not be disappointed. We had a 2 to 3 foot base to begin with so
our 15 inches is like icing on the cake.
We know we need it, but we could use a little break at this time. For those of you wondering about Steve
Uhlman’s snowstick – I called one of his neighbors last
night. He indicated that the camera is
being covered by a large amount of snow coming off the roof and that getting
to the camera and removing the snow would be a major effort. We will keep you
posted. If you wish to contact
us, you may e-mail us at kcsvs@frontiernet.net
or by phone at 928-535-3361. Weather Report – Friday February 15. 2008, 7:15 a.m. We did not receive any
snow during the day yesterday, it started last night around 7. It was light during the evening, no more
than a half an inch by the time we
went to bed at 11. We woke up this
morning to 7 inches of heavy wet new snow on the ground, which is continuing
at this time. We had a slight lull but
now it is coming down again quite heavily.
There is very little wind and the trees are starting to load up. No sign of the snowplow yet so it would be
a little difficult to get around.
Current temperature is 24 degrees.
The weather service indicates we could get another foot before it
tapers off this evening. For those of
you wondering about Steve Ullman’s snowstick – I called one of
his neighbors last night. He indicated
that the camera is being covered by a large amount of snow coming off the
roof and that getting to the camera and removing the snow would be a major
effort. Before this storm we still had
2 to 3 feet of snow on the ground with drifts up to five feet so attempting
to go any place without digging or plowing is quite difficult. We will keep you posted. If you wish to contact
us, you may e-mail us at kcsvs@frontiernet.net
or by phone at 928-535-3361. Weather Report – Tuesday, February 5. 2008,
9:00 a.m. Yesterday morning we
thought we saw signs that our storm was about over. We were wrong. The wind died down, but the snow continued
all day, heavy at times. It finally
stopped just before dark last night after leaving us another 4 or 5 inches of
snow. The total for the storm was
about 28 inches with drifts of 5 feet common.
We are supposed to see sunshine for the next few days, but until the
temperatures get above freezing, we won’t see any melting. Today is bright and sunny, but the
temperature is only 17 degrees. The
trees are heavily loaded as a result of yesterday’s snow and lack of
wind. The interior roads that have
been plowed are little more than one lane wide with 5 and 6 foot berms
common. Highway 260 was still
treacherous yesterday and the store/post office remained closed. Hopefully that situation will change
today. A structure at the fire station
being used to protect a van and a brush truck collapsed yesterday under the
weight of the heavy snow. Both
vehicles have appeared to sustain heavy damage. We were able to pull part of the structure
off the vehicles yesterday, but will not be able to determine how much damage
was sustained until we can remove the remaining structure. We have heard that there was at least one
other carport that was close to collapse, but luckily the residents were able
to remove enough snow to save it. Also
we were fortunate that we had no power outages during the storm. We always enjoy seeing snow here in Forest
Lakes, but sometimes we get too much of a good thing – this was one of
those times. If you wish to contact
us, you may e-mail us at kcsvs@frontiernet.net
or by phone at 928-535-3361. Weather Report – Monday, February 4. 2008,
9:30 a.m. The storm continued all night
and is still going strong this morning although it is showing some signs of
letting up. The wind has calmed down
to a breeze and we have seen intermittent breaks in the snow and even got a
short glimpse of the sun this morning.
Our best estimate is about 2 feet of snow since the storm
started. That is overlaying the foot
that was already on the ground. The
weather service indicates continued snowfall until this evening with several
more inches possible. The trees held
very little snow yesterday, but are starting to load up this morning. Current temperature is 27 degrees. Interior roads are not passable except for
the few that have been plowed. The
berms are 5 to 6 feet and will be higher once the plow goes through. The
snowfall is generally light with occasional heavy. We have no information on highway 260. If you wish to contact
us, you may e-mail us at kcsvs@frontiernet.net
or by phone at 928-535-3361. Weather Report – Monday, February 4. 2008,

9:30 p.m. The storm continues
unabated, best estimate is a little over 12 inches of new snow, but it is
drifting so much I can only guess.
Wind continues strong and the snow has been continuous and heavy at
times. The weather service indicates
this will continue through the night and into tomorrow so there is no telling
how much we will end up with. So far
we have not had any power outages.
We’ve seen the snow plow out, but at this point he is fighting a
losing battle. He is trying to keep up
I guess. The temperature is 30
degrees. We will keep you posted as best we can. If you wish to contact
us, you may e-mail us at kcsvs@frontiernet.net
or by phone at 928-535-3361. Weather Report – Sunday, February 3. 2008,
1:00 p.m. It started out with
light snow this morning at about 6:30 and has steadily gotten worse. We are currently in a full-fledged blizzard
with winds gusting above 20 miles per hour and heavy snow with frequent
whiteouts. Just guessing there is
about 3 to 4 inches on the ground with the possibility of 2 feet or more by
morning according to the weather service. We are probably going to lose power
somewhere along the line. We have reports that highway 260 is snowpacked and
icy with visibility less than a quarter mile.
The temperature is 27 degrees. We will keep you posted as best we
can. If you wish to contact
us, you may e-mail us at kcsvs@frontiernet.net
or by phone at 928-535-3361. Weather Report – Tuesday, January 29, 2008,
9:00 a.m. It is a beautiful day in
Forest Lakes. Clear blue skies,
temperature of 20 degrees, no wind.
The storm continued last night until about midnight, leaving us with
at least 7 inches of new snow. It
could be more than that, but the wind caused a great deal of drifting and it
is really hard to get a good measurement.
The trees are heavily laden and it is one of those picture postcard
days. Next storm is due tomorrow, but
it is unclear whether it will get this far south. The interior roads were in passable shape
yesterday, but have not yet been plowed out this morning. No information on highway 260. If you wish to contact
us, you may e-mail us at kcsvs@frontiernet.net
or by phone at 928-535-3361. Weather Report - Monday, January 28, 2008, 4:30
p.m. Yesterday was our big
rain event at Forest Lakes. It rained steadily
although not a hard rain, it was relentless.
We have no idea how much we had – I have yet to find someone
that had a rain gauge out and working.
Our best guess is 2 to 3 inches.
Because we had about a foot of snow still on the ground which had actually
turned to solid ice, there were problems with ice dams forming and forcing
water to go to areas where it shouldn’t go. The fire station was partially flooded but
the ice dams were broken up and prevented further damage. The berms which are actually formed in the
ditches that normally carry the water also forced water to run in the
roadways. The rain pretty much cleared
the roadways of ice and snow, but apparently did nothing to reduce the size
of the icy berm or the foot of snow/ice that was already on the ground. About 9 o’clock last night the rain
changed to snow and we woke up this morning to almost a foot of new
snow. Nothing could really move on the
roads or out of the driveways until they were cleared which took most off the
day. We even got a call from Flagstaff
Emergency Management asking if we needed any help to keep the roads clear to
control the water runoff. We indicated
that we were able to handle the situation.
As it turned out we thought the storm was over, but it has continued
to snow on and off most of the day. We
have added another 2 inches on the ground.
No real breaks in sight. The
trees are heavily laden, it is windy and heavily overcast with a temperature
of 30 degrees. We have occasional
blowing snow and near whiteout conditions.
Not a good time to be traveling in this area. We are supposed to get some clearing
tonight with another round of snow possible on Wednesday. If you wish to contact
us, you may e-mail us at kcsvs@frontiernet.net
or by phone at 928-535-3361. Weather Report - Sunday, January 27, 2008,
10:00a.m. When we got up this
morning our driveway was wet and a very light misty rain was falling. Since then it has started to rain a little
harder, but would still be classified as light to moderate. Also, it appears to be mixed with some
sleet, definitely no snow at this time.
We have had reports that highway 260 as well as the interior roads are
very icy and treacherous to either drive or walk. The weather service indicates that this icy
rain will continue for the rest of the day and be heavy at times. This situation will continue into this
evening when it is supposed to change over to snow. Their predictions are 1 to 3 inches of rain
today and then 6 to 10 inches of snow tonight. The current temperature is 33 degrees with
light wind. If you wish to contact
us, you may e-mail us at kcsvs@frontiernet.net
or by phone at 928-535-3361. Weather Report - Thursday, January 24, 2008, 12
noon Since our last report we
have had no precipitation to speak of.
The main weather story from up here would be the temperature. With few exceptions the daytime temperature
has been below freezing. At night we
frequently see the teens and 20s with occasional dips to zero. We know we are in a fairly warm area and
that other parts of the subdivision have seen below zero temperatures several
times. Our latest weather system came
in yesterday with very light snow showers.
These showers persisted all night and are starting to get a bit
heavier as our day goes on.
Accumulations of new snow are less than an inch, but predictions
indicate we could get 3 inches before this storm is over. The snow from our previous two storms is
still on the ground and probably totals about a foot with ninety percent
coverage. The berms are about three
feet and solid ice. Also the leftover
snow is ice because of the low temperatures.
The weather service now indicates that Friday and Saturday will be
relatively clear, but unsettled. The
snow predictions for Saturday have been changed to a Sunday rain event as the
snow level will be about 8500 feet.
This is about the third change they have given us on the storm
currently off the California coast and we will probably hear more changes in
the next day or two. The interior
roads are passable. Highway 260 this
morning was relatively dry. It
currently is overcast with a light breeze and temperature of 32 degrees. If you wish to contact
us, you may e-mail us at kcsvs@frontiernet.net
or by phone at 928-535-3361. Weather Report - Monday, January 7, 2008, 4:30
p.m. The snowfall continued
heavy most of the time all morning and into early afternoon. The main part of the storm finally broke
about 2 o’clock this afternoon and we have only seen some residual
showers since then. I took the snow
blower out to clear my driveway, which is rather long, and measured 12 to 14
inches of heavy wet snow. My snow blower
is good for about 10 inches, so I had a real struggle, but at least made it
passable. The interior roads have been
plowed and are passable. The trees are
heavily loaded. Temperature is 30
degrees with overcast skies. The sun
did peek through a few times this afternoon.
It was windy during the storm, but there is only a light breeze at
this time. If you wish to contact
us, you may e-mail us at kcsvs@frontiernet.net
or by phone at 928-535-3361. Weather Report - Monday, January 7, 2008, 8:30
a.m. We woke up this morning
to a heavy snowfall. It probably
started in the early morning hours and it looks like we have about 6 to 8
inches on the ground of new snow. This
is observation only, I haven’t been out to measure because the weather
is pretty nasty right now. The weather
service indicates that we will probably at least double what we currently
have before the storm ends later today or tonight. It is somewhat windy so we are seeing
occasional whiteouts. No snowplowing
activity as yet, but it wouldn’t do much good at this stage of the game
anyway. The current temperature is 29
degrees. It is currently snowing
heavily. The trees are becoming loaded
and there is no sign of letup at this time.
Luckily no accidents have been reported on the highway as yet. If you wish to contact
us, you may e-mail us at kcsvs@frontiernet.net
or by phone at 928-535-3361. Weather Report - Sunday, January 6, 2008, 10:00
a.m. So far this has been a
rather strange and nonproductive storm as far as snow is concerned. It started off yesterday about noon with a
very light snow/rain mix. It finally
started to snow later in the afternoon and put one or two inches on the ground. Then last night it changed back to a misty
rain which has melted much of the two inch snow. This morning the light misty rain has
continued on and off interspersed with a few snow flurries. The weather service indicates we should see
more snow later today and into tonight.
Guess we will just have to wait and see. The temperature last night never got below
freezing. The current temperature is
34 degrees with a heavy overcast and a light breeze. The interior roads have a light coating of
snow, but are completely passable.
Highway 260 was treacherous last night with several slideoffs
reported. No information on what it
looks like this morning. If you wish to contact
us, you may e-mail us at kcsvs@frontiernet.net
or by phone at 928-535-3361. Weather Report -
Friday, December 21, 2007, 2:15 p.m. As indicated in
yesterday’s report, there is a lot of snow left over from our storm
last week. There was some melting and
quite a bit of settling, but we still had almost full coverage with about a
foot or more with only a few bare patches here and there. It started to snow this morning around 9
o’clock, very heavy at times.
For the most part the snow has been moderate to light and we now have
about 2 inches out of this storm.
Additional accumulation of 3 or more inches is being forecast before
the storm ends sometime tonight. I checked highway 260 about an hour ago and
found it was wet but there was no snow accumulation at that time.The interior
roads are snowpacked but the grader is working to keep them clear. Prior to
this storm the interior roads were about half ice and half mud depending on
location. The berms created during
last week’s storm are still substantial and anyone coming up this
weekend will have to dig their way in to their driveway or have someone clear
it before they come. The wind is light
and the temperature is 29 degrees which is probably our high for the day. So
whatever is being added to the snowpack will undoubtedly remain for the
weekend. If you wish to contact
us, you may e-mail us at kcsvs@frontiernet.net
or by phone at 928-535-3361. Weather Report –Thursday, December 20,
2007, 6:15 p.m. There is still a lot of
snow here in Forest Lakes because we have had very limited melting. Today was the first day that we got into
the high forties, so coverage is still almost complete with just a few bare
spots starting to show through under the trees. For those of you thinking of coming up
tomorrow, please check the weather before you start. A new storm is supposed to start dropping
snow tonight or early tomorrow morning and continue through Friday and Friday
night. The weather service indicates
that we will get 2 to 5 inches and we have heard reports that 8 inches is
possible. We will put out another
report tomorrow afternoon and let you know what it looks like. It is presently cloudy with light wind and
the temperature is 32 degrees. If you wish to contact
us, you may e-mail us at kcsvs@frontiernet.net
or by phone at 928-535-3361. Weather Report –Thursday, December 13,
2007, 2:30 p.m. There is not much to
report weather wise today, but we thought we would let everyone know what the
snow conditions currently are. We have
clear blue sky, light breeze and the temperature of 35 degrees. For those of you planning to come up for
the weekend you will find plenty of snow because this is the first time since
the storm started that we have had temperatures above freezing. We are just now starting to see some
melting both on the ground and off the trees.
We currently have 20 inches of snow in our front yard with close to 3
feet in some areas of the back yard.
These conditions prevail throughout Forest Lakes and the entire rim
area. The interior roads have been
plowed, but many are still snowpacked and icy, with some sections bare and
muddy. Probably by the weekend there
will have been further scraping and widening along with above freezing
temperatures during the day. It should
make most roads passable even with 2 wheel drive, although at this point 4
wheel drive is certainly recommended.
Most driveways are currently blocked with 2 foot berms and behind the
berm are one to 2 feet of snow, 100% coverage. Don’t plan to use your driveway
without some digging or having it cleared by someone with the proper
equipment. Highway 260 was clear of
snow and ice yesterday when we went to Payson. You should be cautious, however, because
now that the snow is starting to melt, 260 will be wet during the day and icy
at night. Last night’s
temperature ranged from 7 to 13 degrees depending on location. The Forest Service indicates that all
forest service roads with gates are closed and that there is up to 3 feet of
snow in many forest locations. With
projected temperatures this snowpack is not going away anytime soon. If you wish to contact
us, you may e-mail us at kcsvs@frontiernet.net
or by phone at 928-535-3361. Weather Report –Tuesday, December 11, 2007,
9:00 a.m. Snow continued on and
off all day yesterday and became rather heavy last night. We have about 8 more inches on the ground
since I cleared the driveway late yesterday afternoon. Total snow accumulation for the storm is
now between 18 and 20 inches. One of
the problems is that we have had no melting and the trees have about reached
their limit. We are starting to see
branches break off. So far the power
has held up pretty good with only an occasional outage lasting only a few
seconds. Winds have been light which
probably helps keep the branch breakage to a minimum. The weather service indicates snow showers
continuing through the day with up to 7 inches more accumulation possible. The current temperature is 26 degrees and
still heavily overcast with light snow.
No sign of the snow plow yet this morning. We have no information on the condition of
highway 260 at this time. If you wish to contact
us, you may e-mail us at kcsvs@frontiernet.net
or by phone at 928-535-3361. Weather Report – Monday, December 10, 2007,
8:40 a.m. Snow continued on and
off all day yesterday and has become somewhat heavy this morning. We have added about 3 inches on the ground
and there has been no melting because the temperature has remained below
freezing. So we have a total of about
9 inches on the ground. The interior
roads were plowed yesterday, but the berms are still quite low. The sky is heavily overcast and the winds
are light. The trees are still heavily
laden. The weather service indicates
we could possibly get 11 more inches by the time the storm ends sometime tomorrow. The current temperature is 28 degrees. We have no information regarding the
conditions on Hwy 260. If you wish to contact
us, you may e-mail us at kcsvs@frontiernet.net
or by phone at 928-535-3361. Weather Report – Saturday, December 8,
2007, 9:30 a.m. This storm started out
the same way as last week’s. It
rained all day Friday, heavy at times, not sure how much without a rain
gauge, but I would guess that we had at least 3 inches of rain. Sometime early this morning it changed over
to snow and we now have about 6 inches on the ground. The main snow event seems to be over, but
we are constantly having small showers move through. The winds have calmed down so we
haven’t had much drifting and the trees are completely loaded. We received information about an hour ago
that highway 260 is closed just east of the Young Road due to flooding. Current temperature is 29 degrees. If you wish to contact

2:15 p.m. Well, the weekend is
ending on a nice note. The temperature
is 43 degrees under sunny skies and no wind.
This is quite a contrast to the beginning of this weekend. It rained all day Friday, through Friday
night and Saturday morning. The rain
was not heavy, but it was constant. We
don’t have a rain gauge out, but Payson reported 4 inches and Mormon
Lake reported 5 inches so I assume we were probably somewhere in that
range. Early Saturday afternoon we had
a short but heavy hail storm which then turned to snow which continued into
the evening. By the time it stopped we
had about 2 inches on the ground, which normally would have melted off in a
few hours. But the temperature went
down to 22 degrees last night which turned the top layer to ice. So although we have had considerable
melting today, we are still looking at about an inch on the ground. It should all disappear in the next day or
two since the temperatures are forecast to be in the 50s. Predictions are for another storm late this
week. If you wish to contact

be providing the weather report very soon. If you wish to contact
