I don't always check that 1, just lookin west.

[Kettle]

No snow yet, cold east wind picked up this afternoon.

[Gunner55]

  Lakewood's dock looks like it almost disappeared overnight & it's still coming down. TWC sayin they could get another 3-5" too. Can't see much at the narrows or geiger's right now.

[glenn57]

yea I just peeked too........this may put a end to my spearing plans for the year....................

[Gunner55]

  Was wondering about that, if the forecasts were anywhere close to being right.

[Steve-o]

So why does a storm put an end to spearing plans?

(I don't know dittly-squat about spearing.)

its more about saftey.........and right now......if they get more snow....its gonna be all about water/slush on top of the ice. i've been down that road more then once......and as i age......i'd like to think i've learned a few things!!!!!!

at this point i will be going up by myself. i put feelers out over a week ago if someone wanted to join me and havent heard anything back!!!!! the 2 lakes i wanted to hit first, one is down a minimum maintenance road, the other is off Hwy 6 but he access isnt plowed............

being christmas week.....i'd suspect some people around.......but not enough if i run into issues!!!!!!!!

[Kettle]

About 4 inches of wet snow, expecting About 4 more inches before it's done

thanks Kettle.......that isnt to bad.......yet!!!!!!! hopefully the next 4 inches is the light fluffy stuff!!!!!!!!!!

It's definitely what I would have called heart attack snow when I was a paramedic just due to the effort it takes to shovel it. I'm not fishing today or tomorrow. Spent a few hours helping a buddy shovel off his garage roof. Definitely see some grey areas on a few lakes, definitely going to be some slush

ugh!!!!!!!!!!!

[Scenic]

Good morning.   Gee more snow up here.  I too am a bit worried about our ice.  Out front here I had 8" of good ice before this snow but I am expecting a lot of slush now.   I just might be sled fishing for a while.

[Kettle]

It's definitely a winter wonderland. Definitely will be fishing the remainder of the season in knee boots

[Gunner55]

Just checked Lakewood's & Geiger's webcams & it's still comin down pretty good in our area. Quite a bit on the ground from yday too. Inger forecast says another 2-5" possible.

[Gunner55]

Getting some up there again this mornin, it wasn't comin down very hard though.

[Kettle]

Checked a local lake, 10 inches of ice, 5 inches of slush

[mike89]

ouch...

[Jerkbiat]

Ouch for sure. It will be interesting to see what I find out here today.

ishy!! Thanks for the heads up. I WAS still thinking about going up yet.

Just looked at the forecast looks like some of that slush should harden up!👍

[merc]

Geaigers posted and said there is 8" of slush on Bowstring. They closed their access until it firms up. 

[glenn57]

  watching some guy blow off the deck at geigers......but cant see the lake.......a bunch of ice/snow looks to be sliding off da roof!!!!

[glenn57]

Just got off the phone with our guy that plows us out. He figures they got 12-14 inches of snow. Said bit was so wet water was running out of rain gutters. And he still wasn't done plowing

[mike89]

yikes!!  the lakes will be taking a hit for sure.....

[glenn57]

lookingat the webcams this morning, that new snow sure makes it look pretty!!!!!!!!  but sure is quite up there.... pretty virgin snow.

wish Geigers would knock that chunk of ice sliding doen there roof off so we could see the lake more!!!!!!! Gunner.........get on that would ye!!!!!!!!!

[Gunner55]

  I thought you were be going up pretty soon .......................................so you could see how far you could get before you got stuck.        

[glenn57]

As it stands now the Thursday before new years. Already talked to our plow guy!!👍 I just hope I can get on the lake without issues!

[Gunner55]

  Better take your TALL boots!!                

[glenn57]

meh I'm actually hearing this cold weather is actually freezing up some of the slush.

I'm certain Kettle will check it out to!!👍👍

Besides it ain't my first rodeo, I got me a plan!!👍

[Gunner55]

 Just checked & there's nothing from Sundin on lake conditions since the 12/15 report on Winnie.

[Kettle]

I'll check the ice out tomorrow, it's cold here, glad I have a job where I can have a beard. Too cold to n9t have one
