if each person brought a log or two
you'd have plenty of wood for a heat source.

Rick, if its too cold you can make an announcement at noon that its over at 1. If its zero out i dont think there will be much complaining.

Everything is better on the rocks.

It will be warmest in the afternoon. Tuesday had at least 8 inches of Ice. Plus 3 inched of snow. Add another 16+ inches of snow to that. Better bring snowshoes lol. Hoping for at least a sled and a quad if not 2 sleds.

Go Ugly Early

I will stop over at the lake tomorrow and see whats up with it. I hoping that it has been used a bunch by snowmobiles/quads to break up the snow. I am more concerned about parking with all the snow drifts. Not sure what the town does in regards to plowing the area.

Everything is better on the rocks.

The parking lot is looking good. Doesn't appear that there has been a lot of activity on the lake, at least not in the area where we usually set up. A pretty good crowd was out there today. The snow did not get blown off the lake as far as i could tell.

The walking on the lake I was on yesterday was tough. Bring snowshoes if you have them as walking in a sled track is still not easy.

The Sportsman Cellar on rt 20 about 1/4 mile before you turn right on 148 will be open. If you see a small grocery store called Micknucks you just missed it, pull in there and park and walk back the 100 yards east. The guy who runs it is a cranky bastard but the only game in town.
