yesss!  you are much more prepared than I am.  seems like the weather is coming early this year, I was up near Jones Pass last week and the amount of snow was about a month ahead of 2016.  Lets hope its a sign of things to come

Hmph! Up there, OK. Down here Al Gore still invented global warming and if we get walking ice by Christmas (used to be Thanksgiving and sometimes earlier) it'll be a miracle of epic proportions.

Best of luck thin air dudes! I'm headed north to winterize that place in much the same fashion though I've got four days of open water musky fishing following....

I can now only dream and live vicariously through your oxygen starved tales of early ice....

It is October 6th and we have only had frost in the morning once so far. Leaves still on the trees. We need cold!
