Can you guys keep me updated on how much snow you're getting? I'm supposed to be coming over for a fishing trip very soon. I'm hoping it blows off the bay!
Hey Dooger,
I don't think this crap is gonna blow off, as it's wet and heavy and sloppy here right now. It's supposed to let up this afternoon. We'll keep ya posted.

Bad enough. I don't know exactly how much we got but it was plenty and it is very wet and heavy. I won't be out on the lake until next week Thurs. maybe.
People keep talking about 13 to 18 inches of ice. I don't know where they were fishing, but I have not seen more than 11 inches (measured) this year and ran into areas where ther was only 5 or 6 inches. With all the weight of the snow and water on top of the ice now, I don't like it and having some bad vibes. I guess we'll have to wait and see some other reports. Use caution out there!!!

Went out in front of the municipal dock last night. It was a sloppy, drifty walk out and didn't get a thing. The ice was making me nervous as well. I didn't measure but it was about 8-9 inches where we set up. Hard to hear it with all the wind we had, but the ice was cracking all over the place. I could feel the vibrations like little earthquakes under my feet. Snow is VERY wet and heavy. Untill it stiffens up a bit, I may steer clear for a few days myself.
I agree with Slammer. I don't see any of this snow blowing off. It is some of wettest crap going. Wasn't sure if I was going to be able to plow out my brother's house or not. I started going in his drive straight on and made it about 40 feet off the road and came to a dead stop! Then I had to start chipping away at the bank I made. What a pain in the butt. Took way longer than I had planned. Then woke up to another 3 inches this morning and started plowing all over again! I think a friend of mine is going out this evening, so I will post what he found for conditions after I speak to him later...
