Lakes around Cumberland have open water around edges and in mouths of brooks .Yesterday had to use 8' planks to get out onto solid ice when we came off ice planks broke tru. had to move them .Once this snow coves all one will not be able to see open water and open holes which are getting big enough to swallow a man.. Think I will put jig sticks away for another year!!!!!!!!

I agree, this snow is going to make things very dangerous
on the ice.

I just put away my auger and jig rods. Not worth the risk here. Time to get the greenhouse up.
