Boy a night or two after around 0 after this week would do wonders for the ice.  I'm shocked at the lack of ice in areas.  Of course it doesn't help that there's 16 inches of snow on top of 6 inches of ice.

Well, its raining here,today, in the NEK. ;D  Its been a bad year, for ice fishing, up here, to drive safety on the ice, with your truck, snowmobile, atv, etc.  If you can use your snowshoes, then more power to you, as I heard, with the water, slush, they even freeze up, with all of it.  Hope for better ice conditions, for the remaining time, we have for ice fishing this year.

We had 50* and sun here around noontime, clouding up and getting a little rain right now and down to 42* and falling. If nothing else the thaw will hopefully create a thick crust we can walk on.
