it looks pretty good...

nothing more to say until we check it more carefully... but this looks like a place we can have a lot of fun next weekend.

Temps will be cool, Ice will be thin, there's one hazard close to the launch site, (ya won't miss the geese) which we'll have to mark.

Light winds shouldn't be a problem, I make it to be about 1/2 inch of powder snow in some really nice ice.

it's gonna be great.

FWIW

As I watched the larger bodies of water freeze this year I noticed that the west sides froze early do to the high westerlys and the rotors over the shore. My best friend went out to check our fishin spot, poking the ice every step. About a hundred yards out the chisle went through with one poke! Not that you all don't know, but be EXTRA careful this year.

Thanks for your report, but what day did this happen? Yesterday or a week ago? What lake?
