It's around the corner!
« on: Oct 26, 2005, 11:05 AM »
I swear..... I saw some snowflakes last night in central mass.   I had to get dressed and take the dog out in it!
Let's hope ice is not far behind!

I got a wager with a buddy, lets hope that I am correct and the ice gets here in a no time.

I started to brush off my tilts last night and will hopefully have ice on flint pond by X-mas.  I hear that Chauncey ices up quick too.

Yep, there was a skim on the small swamp I drive by on my way to work in the morning and a friend said she woke up to the ground covered in the white stuff up in the Berkshire town of Heath.

Bring it on!!

If I were you I would have drilled a hole and practiced a little. Maybe you could catch a nice lunker goldfish lol. The ice will be here pretty soon.
