Just started here. Their calling for 5-8", gonna ruin the ice. I hate MI, every year we get 3" of ice then it snows a foot and it aint good the rest of season. Time to move, hahaha.

I cleared 5" off of the driveway about an hour ago and there is about an inch back on it now.  No signs what so ever that it is going to slow down either.

I just hauled a load of firewood up to the house, I would say we have 9-10" on the ground and still snowing hard. Will this much snow push the ice down, or is it too light and fluffy?

10 inch's of snow maybe a little more, spent most of the day diggen out the yard. It is going to really be a battle getting the house out of the back yard and on to the lake. Was up on the lake this afternoon a strong 8 inch's of ice .... no flooding yet....

There is almost 6 more inches up here.  Anyone want to go double or nothing that another sled goes through between now and Saturday? I will even limit it to Tonka, Coon, Rush, or one of the Chisago lakes.

I will bet you a cold beer at the get together, but prior lake is included. ;)

You ever notice that Minnesotans are always betting eachother? Even when they agree and no definite payoff is selected? In Minnesota is is commonplace to say " I betcha $50" even though no one has the desire to gamble. ??? ;D ;D ;D
