Can't be much! Sunday the middle was open!
Long Lake will usually be open water under the bridge and a little bit north. Long Lake is actually part of a river and it flows pretty good right there where it necks down.
Saw my first snowmobile track on Long Lake this morning, doesn't necessarily mean it's safe in the middle, just means- looks like by the tracks two wanted to see if they could make it from Raquette by lakes. North end of Raquette had 4" pretty much from Indian Point to the channel on Wednesday. There is an annual fishing tounament in Raquette on Saturday, and I do recall other years sleds going through at the north end on the day of the tournament. No, noone tried weighing them in for the contest!Jennings Pond part of Long Lake has 8-10 inches and cold is forecast for tonight.
HC-NY,I hear there is a pressure fracture in south bay and out from the village on Raquette. Have you seen this? Can it be bypassed by snowmobile?Thanks,RBThere is one on the other side of Strawberry Island that was wide and wet last week end, we just fished this side (watched a couple snowmobiles run it). Other one is down by south inlet and looks from Rte 28 like you can get around. To be sure call the Tap Room 315-354-4581 (not during the lunch rush). There is a fishing tournament on Raquette Saturday morning and the locals were going to do a lake ice conditions check for the fishermen.

That kind of sucks as I was planning on fishing the derby at the upper end of the lake. Have to go with plan B instead I guess.
