If we ever get ice, Im staying the night on it
But don't quote me on that. I have a drinking problem, I keep running out of beer. I've always been a little bit crazy, but its kept me from going insane.

Also 41 and rain here. Of course it doesn't matter what I hope for. We're gonna get what we get. BUT maybe around Lansing this rain will take out the skimpy ice we had, whatever snow we get lands on open water, then the nice cold temperatures come in next week and make beautiful ice! Might as well hope, cause we can't fish yet!

My thoughts exactly. Fingers crossed.
I’m a psycho and will sleep in the parking lot so I can get out on the ice before you.

27* and windy. Received about 1/2"of snow after 1/2" of rain, we got lucky. Temps (theoretically)going to drop and stay down this week, maybe this coming weekend we can get out but not going to hold my breath until it happens. Advanced weather reports haven't been right in seemingly years, we got lucky but they actually missed on this one locally which is fine for now

13* which is good. Problem is 1"-3" of snow over night and a projected 5"-8" for tomorrow. Have a spotty reasonable skim on a couple small waters I checked, but that's a lot of potential weight/insulation on not very much ice

Guess they didnt factor in the lake effect snow, when they said precipitation would be below average this winter, just another monkey wrench

14* and the wind is hopefully pushing the snow off the ice, West @ 15 - 20 mph

                 Just checked a couple local lakes, about 4" snow on them and don't seem to be blowing off,  ice was shaky, but some guys out!!

I got out on a few small ponds today here in lansing. Two had 2 1/2 inches with some slop on top. And another had three inches of solid/honeycomb mix with 3-4 inches of snow on top.Didn't catch much but it was great to finally get out.
I’m a psycho and will sleep in the parking lot so I can get out on the ice before you.

10* but supposed to steadily rise to above freezing over the next couple of days. Local ice is somewhat of a mess at the moment with the snow on top, not going to take the risk of even considering it. With the small amount of rain coming for Friday we're screwed for a little longer
