Autumn begins officially this week and
the weather seems to be very changeable, as is often the case in September.
In the past week our lake has seen temperatures in the 80's and in the
upper 30's. There have been quick deluges of rain including one that gave
us 3/4 inch in only fifteen minutes on Thursday. There have been skeins
of geese over a hundred birds strong while a few loons are still calling
too. There are plenty of crisp fall days too so enjoy them while they last.

The tree's turning color early continues.
It looks like the fall color in the area around Lake Hubert is going to be several weeks earlier than usual. Some places along local roads are showing an estimated ten percent of peak color already. If you love to see fall color, take a drive around and check it out. County highway 13 and 3 toward Brainerd have some good spots and so does Highway 371 North of Nisswa. Enjoy.

On Sunday September third, the air temperature was 83 degrees F. Today, two days later, the high was 59. What a change!
The surface water temperature on Lake Hubert was 83 degrees a few weeks ago and now it's 64 degrees. The unofficial end of summer has come and now the slow temperature decline has begun. The air is crisp and there's a hint of wood smoke from fireplaces in the evening air.

Never Leave Your Boat Key In The Boat
A few years ago several Lake Hubert residents
learned this lesson the hard way. During the night, their boats were stolen
from their lifts and docks, driven out to the middle of the lake and completely
trashed. Where no keys were left, the boats were not taken.
Electric Shock Drowning
It can occur right by your dock
If you have electric lines anywhere on or near your dock you need to read this article. Children, adults and animals can be drowned because of hidden current leakage.
CLICK HERE TO READ THIS IMPORTANT ARTICLE
In addition to the precautions listed in
the article, make sure that any 110 Volt electrical line on or near your
dock is protected by a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter). If there
is leakage of the electricity into the water, the GFCI will shut off the
power. Any licensed electrician can tell you if your electrical line is
protected by a GFCI and can install a GFCI for you if not.

The lake water level is quite high this spring and the ice has caused some substantial shoreline damage. The photo below shows the damage on a shoreline on the Northeast side of the lake. Did you move your docks and lifts far enough from the water's edge?
This kind of damage is caused not by wind moving the ice but by "ice jacking". Ice jacking occurs when the ice on a lake cracks and the crack is then filled with liquid water from below. When this water freezes and expands, it forces the ice sheet to move just a bit. When this cracking and filling occurs many times, which often happens, the ice sheet can be moved many feet and it moves with amazing force.

Here's One of Our Favorite Photos From Winters Past
Posted January 7
29 below zero was cold but far from the record.
On Friday morning January 6th it was 29 below zero at Lake Hubert. The record low for that date is 32 below. Only twenty years ago, on February 2, 1996, it was a tree shattering 54 below zero, an all-time record low. The previous morning it had been only two degrees "warmer" at 52 below zero. Large tree trunks actually exploded when their moisture froze and expanded. Smaller trees, like a three inch diameter maple in your web gnome's yard, were killed down to the two foot line below which snow insulated it.
It should be noted that last winter, 2015-2016,
the coldest recorded temperature on the North side of Lake Hubert was 23
below zero making the warmest winter in memory.
A Safety Reminder
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING
KILLS 2 IN CABIN
Do YOU have carbon monoxide detectors in your cabin? These people didn't.
No, it wasn't on
Lake Hubert but it could have been. This happened near Longville according
to a Brainerd Dispatch article.
CO
detectors/alarms are inexpensive, easy to plug in or operate by battery
and could save your life. They're available everywhere including Carlson
Hardware in Nisswa, Target, Fleet Farm, Wal Mart, Home Depot, Menards and
online at many places including Amazon.com.
Don't wait! Get
a Carbon Monoxide Detector/Alarm and install it TODAY.
And while you're at it, install some smoke
detectors if you don't already have them.
The lives you save could be your kids
or grandkids.

Winter Arrived Earlier Than Last Year
In 2015 the lake didn't freeze over until December 18 but this year it froze on the 9th. However it is VERY UNSAFE, even for a person walking so do NOT try to go out on the ice for a week or so. The below zero night time temperatures predicted for the coming week should make the ice thicker and safer unless a new blanket of snow insulates it.
There were high winds from the Southwest when the lake froze this year, making the Northern shoreline freeze solid from the spray. It's interesting to see but not fun to watch the ice form unless you're inside a toasty house.
Speaking of a warm
house, make sure you have a working carbon monoxide detector plugged in
at your house. It could save your life! (See the article below.)

Rain, Snow, Wind (oh my!)
First the blizzard with heavy, wet snow. Then, about a week later, a rainstorm and finally big winds. Lots of branches and some small trees came down so if you haven't had your property and buildings checked recently you should have someone do so. The picture below shows your web gnome's driveway before the branches and trees were cleared.
Our lake has not
frozen over yet but with colder temperatures predicted it may not be long.

BLIZZARD AT
LAKE HUBERT!
After a warmer than normal October and November, on Friday, November 18, 2016 winter arrived at Lake Hubert with a vengeance. 14 inches of snow fell, much of it wet and heavy which weighed heavily on tree branches. Winds up to 50 miles per hour blew the snow sideways and closed roads throughout the area. Branches fell and power was out for much of the area during Friday afternoon and evening. Some unlucky folks were without power until Saturday.

Zebra Mussels found in Lake Hubert
.......
........
This bad news broke this week after the very invasive alien species was found on the East side of Lake Hubert. This invasive mussel originally came from Southern Russia and has now spread widely thoughout the world, causing serious problems. PLEASE check your water items such as docks, lifts, platforms for Zebra Mussels when you take the items out of the lake. It can be difficult to spot the tiny invaders but if you do, contact the DNR immediately to report your findings. The DNR main phone number in Brainerd is 218-203-4300, then press option 6.

Have You Put Your Docks And LIfts Out Of Danger?
Our lake level is a foot higher than last year which means that the ice will likely move much further up the shore during the coming winter and spring. Ice can move far up the shore driven by winds and by ice jacking which occurs when a crack in the ice fills with water which then freezes and expands. You need to move your docks and lifts WAY up from the water this year to prevent damage.
Here are a few photos of past ice movement.

Got Weeds Along Your Lake Shore?
Actually, plants along your shoreline are usually desirable because they act as a barrier to runoff from the land. That said, there are some plants that are not desirable along the shore. Poison ivy and Canada thistle come to mind. But therein lies a problem. Commercial weed killers should never be used near the water because they are extremely toxic to fish and other aquatic life. So how is one to safely kill bad weeds near the water?
The answer is regular household white vinegar and a few drops of liquid dish soap. All household vinegar contains a 5% solution of acetic acid and it is this non-toxic (except to plants) acid that kills plants. It does this by causing the plant to lose its water, thus drying it out. This happens very quickly, especially if it's a sunny day so you can expect the plant to wilt within hours.
One word of caution: Vinegar will kill any plant it touches so be very careful.
The vinegar should be used straight out of the bottle, not diluted with water. Pour the vinegar into a sprayer such as a small household sprayer or a small garden pump sprayer. Add a few drops of liquid dish soap and shake to mix. The drops of dish soap cause the vinegar to spread on waxy leaves, such as poison ivy, rather than beading and running off. If the weather is calm, spray the plants you want to kill. The plant will soon wither and any spray that gets into the water will not cause problems with frogs or fish.
A final word: If the plant you spray has a deep tap root, like a Canada thistle, it may re-sprout and you might have to spray again.

A GREAT JULY 4th
Lots of Lake Hubert residents saw a wonderful fireworks show from their boats on the night of July 3rd and over 45 watercraft participated in the July 4th boat parade around the lake.
The boat parade participants saw a bald eagle soar over as well as an osprey, that caught a fish near the boats. In Sunset Bay, two loon parents with chicks could be seen out on the water. With that in mind, PLEASE stay away from the point of land where the loons and babies are frequently seen.
All-in-all it was
a wonderful 4th of July!

Very Rare Winter Visitor Photographed at Lake Hubert
Larry Leonard reports: “I spotted this Great Grey this afternoon at 3:45 PM on County Road 13, 3.4 miles east of Sportland Corners/Schaefers Foods on Hwy 371 Nisswa. It dropped down and grabbed a juicy vole for its supper.”
The Great Gray Owl is usually found from Alaska to forested areas of Southern Canada and almost never near Lake Hubert. It is a huge owl with a length as much as 33 inches and a wingspan up to 5 feet.

Have You Ever Wondered
why the world seems so silent when there is fresh snow?
Fresh snow on the ground absorbs sound
because of the air trapped between snowflakes. When heavy snow is falling
through the air, the sound absorbing effect is enhanced further. Once snow
on the ground has settled into a more compact layer, sounds can reflect
off of the surface and the silence is broken.

We're Betting You Didn't Know This
Deer ticks can be active at forty degrees.
Temperatures have been way above normal this fall and even though it's November, when the weather usually turns chilly, Blacklegged Ticks, (Deer Ticks) can be out and about. These nasty, disease carrying ticks can be active even when the temperature drops to forty degrees. So sorry folks, you still need to spray your shoes and cuffs with insect repellent when you're walking across your lawn or in the woods. It's worth the trouble not to contract Lyme disease, anaplasmosis, babesiosis, or Powassan disease.

CRITTER WARS
The war started with early skirmishes that included voles chewing through our screens to start colonies in our new basement and garter snakes trying to challenge our new egress window. It also included bats who found openings in our chimney that had to be eventually sealed by a very old, chain smoking geezer who fixed our problem but then wheezed, “This job comes with a lifetime guarantee.” Yeah, right.

Meet a New Neighbor
We had a visitor this week, just a few
feet outside our window. This hawk is between 20 and 24 inches long and
after much exploring of bird books it was determined to be an immature
goshawk. It stayed for quite a few minutes and then flew away, seemingly
effortlessly.

What The Birds are Telling Us
This time of year, the first birds are beginning to migrate south for the winter. We've all seen skeins of geese and ducks in the fall but other birds come through our area even earlier. One of the first birds to move through is the Goldfinch. Although some Goldfinches stay around all summer, most go farther North and return in August. The first of these were seen at our feeders this week.
American Goldfinch
Soon, our wonderful flying acrobats, the hummingbirds, will disappear from our feeders, the osprey will be gone from our skies and thousands of little warblers will pass through.

Watch for these harbingers of autumn as the first leaves change color and thoughts of winter begin to creep into the far corners of our minds.

The Worst Windstorm
At Lake Hubert
In Over A Century!
From the recollections of this writer's 68 summers at Lake Hubert and of stories told by my parents and grandparents at Lake Hubert as far back as the late 1800s, there has never before been such widespread windstorm devastation as occurred during the storm that struck at 7:40 PM on Sunday, July 12, 2015. Huge old trees were snapped off fifteen to twenty-five feet above the ground on all sides of the lake but the North side of the lake had less damage than the South side. Power was not restored on the South side of Lake Hubert until late Thursday, four days after the storm, and until Friday at many residences along East Lake Hubert Drive and Camp Lincoln Road.
Some people's driveways were so clogged with large downed trees that they couldn't get out for days. The sound of chain saws became the most common sounds heard for most of the week. The cleanup will continue for a very long time.
Here are some photos taken of the damage. These do NOT show the worst damage because it was too difficult to get to the worst hit areas until many of the downed trees were cut up.

SEVERE STORM AT
LAKE HUBERT
On the evening of July 12, a severe storm hit Lake Hubert with winds up to 80 MPH. There are LOTS of big trees down, probably hundreds. Over night Camp Lincoln Road was closed by fallen trees (still is at 10 AM on the 13th). Also closed were East Lake Hubert Drive, Nashway Road and other nearby roads. Highway 371 is down to one lane each direction at Hole In The Day Lake due to downed power lines. The grandstand at BIR was crumpled and mostly demolished. The Girl's Camp on Hubert is without power and trees block all access. To make matters worse, today (Monday July 13) is the day that hundreds of campers arrive for the second session.
If you're not at the lake, we recommend you have your property checked as soon as possible.

When are you most likely to be struck by lightning?
When you're Fishing or Golfing or Boating?
A recent study by the National Weather Service has some surprises.
"From 2006 through 2012, 238 people were struck and killed by lightning in the United States. Almost two thirds of the deaths occurred to people who had been enjoying outdoor leisure activities. The common belief that golfers are responsible for the greatest number of lightning deaths was shown to be a myth. During this 7-year period fishermen accounted for more than three times as many fatalities as golfers, while camping and boating each accounted for almost twice as many deaths as golf."
If you can hear thunder when you're on the lake you can be struck by lightning, even if you're not under the storm cloud. Lightning can travel more than ten miles away from the thunderstorm cloud. You can even be struck by lightning if the sun is shining on you so if you're out boating or fishing and you hear thunder, get off the lake immediately!

Bald Eagles IN Lake Hubert
This wonderful photo and note were sent to us by Lake Hubert residents Fred and Mary Jarl.
Early Easter Sunday evening we saw these two bald eagles laying on the ice on Lake Hubert about 250 feet out from our home. They probably had been fighting in mid-air, locked talons and crashed to the ice. Crows came in close for a look, but were chased away by other eagles. We contacted the DNR to report what we were witnessing.
After about 1-1/2 hours the two eagles
started flopping around and got untangled. One eagle flew away immediately.
The other one tried to take off, but broke through the ice several times.
Eventually, it too was able to fly away.

New Medication Disposal Site
Have you wondered how to dispose of outdated and unneeded medications? It's not good to flush them since they could eventually get into the ground water. It's not good to throw them in the trash because there is a chance of someone finding and abusing them. Now there's an easy and safe disposal option.
“Take It To THE BOX” Medication Disposal Site Available in Nisswa
A free medication disposal box is now available for the public located at the Nisswa City Hall. Crow Wing County is serious about preventing the abuse or misuse of old or unneeded medications. To assure that these medications can be disposed of in a healthy and environmentally safe manner, free disposal sites have been offered since 2012. The drop off box will accept unneeded over-the-counter medications, prescription and narcotic medications from community members. This drop-off site will be open Monday – Friday.

The bird in the picture above does not make sounds and is seldom seen on Lake Hubert. It is the same loon we love to hear and see on our lake but this is its winter plumage. Note that the loon's red eye we see in summer is gone as are the beautiful black and white markings we recognize. In the winter, our loons travel to the east and south sea coasts of the U.S. and while there they do not call like they do on our lake. What an amazing transformation!

Timber Wolves
Living Not Far from Lake Hubert
A family of Timber Wolves, also called Gray Wolves, has been living not far from Lake Hubert for several years. Recently several members of this family were spotted on the Paul Bunyan Trail a few miles from Lake Hubert. They did not bother the people who saw them or the dogs that were being walked.
Wolves are NOT the scary "big, bad, wolves" of childhood fairy tales and rarely, if ever, are a threat to humans.
Although the wolves are very unlikely to bother people, we recommend that you never leave your dogs or cats outside alone and that you not leave their food outside either. A domestic dog, even a large one, or a cat can be easy prey for wolves.
For those of you who find deer eating your garden plants again and again, the presence of wolves can be a good thing. Wolves often feed on deer, helping to keep the deer herd size in check.
We also have families of coyotes living quite close to Lake Hubert so if you see an animal and want to know whether it's a wolf or a coyote, here's how to tell them apart.
If you see tracks, here's how to identify them.
If you see tracks in the snow, you can make a preliminary determination by seeing whether the tracks are in a straight line or if they meander. Wolves and coyotes usually walk in a straight line. Dogs meander.
Quite a few of us at Lake Hubert would love to see the wolves but will probably never get the opportunity. If you see them and get pictures, please send them to us at LakeHubert@aol.com and we'll post them on this website.
To learn lots more about wolves, check
out the Wild Bytes Blog
written by the folks at the International Wolf Center in Ely, Minnesota.

You
Can be Part of the Solution
Long ago it was okay to burn your
garbage and trash in a barrel on your property.
Not any longer because
it pollutes the ground and the air and the water.
Long ago it was okay to wash your
dishes in the lake. Not any longer because it pollutes the lake
we love.
Long ago it was okay to wash your
clothes in the lake. Not any longer because it pollutes the lake
we love.
Long
ago it was okay to bathe in the lake.Not any longer because
bath "soap" pollutes the lake we love.
Do you still bathe in the lake? Please seriously consider washing yourself in your shower rather than in the lake but if you can’t bring yourself to forgo washing in the lake, PLEASE use biodegradable soap instead of the polluting “bath bars” (also known as detergent, which is why the labels don’t use the word “soap”).
Here are some links to sites where you
can buy biodegradable soaps.
The Lake Hubert Conservation Association
doesn’t endorse any of these sites or products but the soaps appear to
be less harmful to the lake than other so called bath and beauty bars.
Remember, it’s still best to bathe in your shower or tub rather than the
lake.
Amazon.com: Two Pack of 2oz Campsuds Biodegradable Soap
REI-biodegradable soap at REI.com

If you see a neighbor bathing in the lake, point them to this article or buy them some biodegradable soap, or both. The lake will be better for it.
Thank
you from the Lake Hubert Conservation Association!
Why do we insist that you not use lawn fertilizer with phosphorus in it?
It's illegal in Minnesota and here's why. There's already a lot of phosphorus in the ground in Minnesota so any you apply will just run off and just one pound of phosphorus in the lake will cause five hundred pounds of algae to grow.
DO NOT put used oil down a drain. DO NOT pour used oil onto the ground.
Recycle used oil.
You can now recycle used oil at the Nisswa recycling center, behind the Nisswa fire station.

Where did Lake Hubert get its name?
The following is from a book found for sale at Crow Wing State Park.
"In 1855 the council of Crow Wing appointed a committee to locate a Territorial Road from Fort Ripley to a point on the Red River in Pembina County.............This route was mapped by E.A. Holmes and George H. Belden in 1855. Surveyor George Hubert Belden married Miss Elizabeth Peake at St. Columbia in 1858 and was the man for whom Hubert Lake is named."
