Don't underestimate me Tim. I actually missed White Lake last year. Had fun with several attendees the day before at Greg's then passed on heading down to white lake the next day because,,,,well, just because.

I am going out on a limb to say it is highly likely there will be a pre-event ski day (0r 2) at Badin prior to the drive east

I was actually considering it for the first time, but April. Has the lake thawed out by then??
Will there be another event towards the Left Coast? NC is a long drive from California. |

I realize you are likely kidding, but the lakes in North Carolina do not freeze. You can get some ice in the back corners of some coves but it is very thin. The water temps for this date are cool to cold, but it does not stop the majority of us from enjoying the water and water sports. A lot of the event is about seeing old friends and meeting new ones. Also, enjoying and testing driving other CC Boats.
However, we do have 4 inches of snow today and there is no bread or milk available in both Carolinas today. |

Don, Understand that Donalds statement is open to interpretation and pretty much determined by where the person lives. As an example, this water is not cool or cold to some: ![]() There are even some who can't make it to annual new years barefoot runs due to the supposed cold temps! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

When was the last time White lake froze?
I know we have had some severe cold that has made its way far south this year, but does ice happen yearly or once every 10 years? Just curious.... I was up in southern Maine just before New Years and saw -24. |

The last time it froze was in 1989. Very seldom do we get temps this low in NC.

They are very firm and we all normally stay at the White Lake Motel and Campground. Saturday night we have a big cook out where we grab a grill from the campground and everyone brings a wide variety of food and such. The motel is normally booked with just us since it is a few weeks before the lake officially opens up. Many other motels are not yet
open and this place opens up early just for us. The rooms all have two queen beds and it is very basic, but very clean. It is around $70.00 per night so it is hard to beat the price. Friday night we usually pitch in on pizza and we have many pizzas delivered to the motel. Saturday, we have a on the trailer boat show at White Lake Marine. Most years they do a cook out for us. Then after lunch we all hit the lake at once. Many will get in a 1/2 day on Sunday on the water if the weather is nice. Townsend usually has an arrangement with the boat ramp where we do not have to pay to launch or if we do it is just once for a min fee. |

We think was something electrical in the boat house wiring that started the fire. It’s hard to exactly determine when everything is under water.
