Icer......hope FatBoy doesn't get miffed at us for posting on this site but, I can't access the other one for some reason???
Anyway, I plan to get on the ice Wed-Sunday. I have buddies coming in from Annapolis and we are having a Vexilar party for all the new owners!!!!! If we get good ice, then we have the potential of having a real good time. Flasher and a jiggin pole on the move!
The last I was on the ice was Friday night. We are having a real nasty storm today. About 2-3 inches of blowing snow, high winds. Temps are around 30. I don't think the ice has deteriorated since Friday. I planeed to drill a few holes but I don't think I want out there today. I'll get points with the wife for future outings.

I think the ice will be ok till Thursday. Then, we'll have to play it by ear. One thing for sure........if it freezes every night, there'll be a slick surface to deal with each day. Better locate your creepers.
