Week 4 Iceboating outlook
The Weather Services says we're lined up to see another Panhandle Hooker this week, she'll stay in town longer, with heavier and wetter snow. Leaving us all with one heck of a Christmas Morning Hangover...
Sailing today looks promising, there was talk of it around Minnetonka.
A good afternoon to celebrate the Solstice on the ice.

SE Wisconsin may escape...
The WKOW-TV meteorologists have a pretty good record of reading the local conditions. They say:
Right now, major accumulations are NOT expected around here [Madison], but a change in the forecast track more toward the southeast would lower our temperatures by a few degrees on Thursday & Christmas Eve, & our snowfall forecast would rise dramatically. Stay tuned for the latest on this winter storm...
I'm crossing my fingers that the current storm-track is correct, so that at least some of the Western Region lakes will remain boatable.
The only good thing coming from the sky is Santa.
Ugh this is another one of them Texas Hookers... she'll try to suck the gulf dry and dump a bucket of it on our heads, solid or liquid,
The forecast discussion here isn't attractive...
"THIS STORM SYSTEM IS REMINISCENT OF THE INFAMOUS HALLOWEEN BLIZZARD OF 1991...AS WAS CONFIRMED BY THE GFS212 36 HOUR CIPS ANALOGS. OVER 27 INCHES OF SNOW WAS OBSERVED AT THE MSP AIRPORT DURING THAT STORM...WHILE FREEZING PRECIPITATION PLAGUED A GOOD PORTION OF IA INTO WESTERN WI. "
Closed course track planning is under way, expect our first real track racing may happen next week.
