Summary
The April 1998 Beaver Beacon “Weather from Welke” column reports a mild February, including highs of 40 degrees on both the first and last days and 22 days in the 30-to-40-degree range. It says conditions prevented snowmobiling, fishing, skiing, and boating, and that early March followed the same pattern.
