NO NO! Say it ain't so!!

[bigredonice]

What the hell is this?  We finally get some ice formation, and all of the sudden we are going to get a thick blanket of insulating snow! Dang!  The brightside, however, is that snow on the ground will aid in radiational cooling, dropping the night temps significantly.

[Robb]

How much are we supposed to get?? I heard it might stay south?

Calling for 5 to 10" in Albany, more to the south.  I am looking on the brights side, there is no ice on the big waters yet.  At least it won't blanket nonexistant ice.

Looks like it might miss us:

most of the snow has blown off what ice we have around here.... I am confident the ice is here to stay... my prediction we have the perm shanty out week before xmas

No way that shanty will be out before christmas...But we can put it on shore.. ..Im saying mid january before the shanty goes out..

Yeah guys, the snow sucks. We were planning on hitting a small lake over here on Saturday, but I just got a very bad report. We've been getting hammered with the lake effect white sh!t, and it's preventing us from fishing. 

[fishuhalik]

Boy, it's nice to be in MN.  Even in the Twin Cities, almost all lakes have 3-6", and farther north, almost 10".  All you NY boys still wanna argue that your state rocks?   

[bigredonice]

All you NY boys still wanna argue that your state rocks?   

Yup! NY Rocks!   

[Hookset]

We picked up about 10 inches in northern Saratoga County and it's still falling.  Thankfully 'Toga had little ice on it as of this morning, so this shouldn't be too detrimental. 

[Fire~n~Ice]

Hudson Valley has about 8-10" and still coming! I was hoping to get out this weekend or early next week.....now I'm not so sure

[bigredonice]

only got about 2.5 inches at the house, and its has stopped snowing.

Its gonna get windy though...blow all the snow off the ice - PLEASE!

[BUCKSKI]

Boy the competition is monitoring the NY chat, go to covert channel, NY still rocks, Just a little later than others.
Least were strong enough to finish the job.

[dwayne]

Looking at the parapit outside my office window here in Albany I see about 2 inches and the radar screen shows the storm past here now.  Anyone know what Grafton has?

[ol crawdad]

Uh huh.  NY rocks alright.  We got fishing here you never even dreamed of.  Let's see can you catch Tuna, bluefish or big stripers in MN.  Um No.  Can you catch big king salmon, 30lb rainbow trout, 30lb brown trout in MN, Um No.  Anything else I'm missing.     Sounds like NY is pretty sweet.   

that's tellin' em SB!  I picked up minnows, fatheads, nightcrawlers and spikes at lunch today.  Leaving in 20 minutes to check out a crappie/gill/pickeral pond that I think should be froze solid.  Hope to fish an hour today (just in time for the crappies!) and about 6 hours tomorrow morn!!

[fishuhalik]

Sheesh guys, I'm just givin' ya'll a hard time

[fishuhalik]

 

[fiesty]

nobody gives the maine boys a harder time then the maine boys themselves...

[archbishop]

the key word in that is BOYS, us NY MEN are gonna woop up on them in the tourney

[Frozen_nutts]

[bigredonice]

AHAHAHAHAA thats funny .

[crappieloo]

I can relate to you guys in WNY and Capital area because we hate snow and usually have a good freeze of 2 or 3 inches of Ice then, Wham 2 or 3 feet of snow on top. It stinks Fortunanally we have had hardly any snow this year, yet.
BTW, i heard that most all the hunters in Min-soda have put their hunting stuff away and are ice fishing.
We are still hunting here in NY.

[fishuhalik]

I put my stuff away, but I could still be hunting for small game or bow or muzzleloader.  I just got my buck by 7:00 Opener morn, and have no reason to freeze my @$$ off right now!
