Ice out here came a few days after the flooding. Our lake took on water and has gone from crystal clear to a muddy mess. It’s been 6 weeks and still looks like the muddy Mississippi. Hoping it heals itself over time.

An early ice out this year. No picture since the ice out caught me by surprise. Yesterday the lake was almost completely covered and this morning nothing! Above freezing temps and high winds last night did the job.

It's not going to be any easier this year for Pete to retain his tubing crown if he has not been able to get out and train. His competition was out on the Fox yesterday gunning for the title

Seeing y'all's post makes me glad that I live in the south! I did see part of our local lake freeze over in January. It thawed out in a couple of days though and it wasn't ever thick enough to even think about walking on. |

We are open here. We had about four days of 30 mph winds last week and that’s all it took.

Still plenty of ice here. Locally the snow on the trails is pretty bad but north in the UP they are still in fantastic condition.
Mark (laurel lake skier) this last weekend checking out the blue ice on lake Superior.

Gary, I'd have to say there are plenty who get out to their ice shanty's just to get away and not really do much fishing!!  Lots of the shanty's are true "man caves". Heat, TV, solar power/batteries/inverters, fridge, even beds!!

You southerners and the warm weather! I just ran into my neighbor this morning coming off the ice. He still needed his extension on his 32" power ice auger this morning!!

And here we go again, Lake ice is looking very Grey, open water should be just around the corner, figure another 10 days unless we get some more rain. Another mild winter behind us (almost).

Now I have to work on the arms. I honestly don't know how I did it all those years. Thankful for what my parents left for us, most likely would have never committed to owning another house, don't have to tell you about the extra work---

Six days ago I skied and it was 70 degrees and no wind. Today we have 10" of snow and 40 mph winds. On the bright side though, The lake is still open!

I've been thinking of getting some big graphics for the sides that say "Ski Antique" I thought of that. Pretty clever, huh? It's amazing nobody has thought of it before now. |
