I imagine they were as there was quite a few around here. I didn't see any tramps around lookin lost though. A lot boats out on Saturday too.

accuweather is forecasting 3-6 inches of snow friday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Gunner55]

When was the last time they were right?

[glenn57]

with all the snow that area got with this storm at least one good thing came of it. we don't have to be asking what it did to the ice on the lakes!!!!!!!!!!!

[Gunner55]

~ 14" + around our place, I heard.

[Gunner55]

Someone posted from the west side of the lake,near Max, & they had 16-17" after it was done.

[Gunner55]

Just checked the 10 day again(Squaw Lake) & it looks like there's at least 3 or 4 days with a good chance of snow. Goin to be cold enough to be makin ice but the wind is supposed to be 10+ mph most of that time.

[glenn57]

It's gonna make ice up there next week based on the 10 day forcast!!

[Gunner55]

Hope so. Think it was 12/31, last year, when we went back up.

[glenn57]

other then the bigger lake reports anyone hearing what some of the smaller lakes got for ice thickness???????????

[Gunner55]

Just seen a report from the west side of Winnie(FM) & he was talking about 7" of ice & not very many people out. Sounded as though he had even checked a few smaller lakes

[Gunner55]

Would just like to give everybody who is going up this way a heads up. If you are hungry & near DR stop at Sportsman Cafe on Main St. Large portions, reasonably priced, fast service, & everything is good. You may have to wait for a place to sit but it won't be long

[glenn57]

And I'll second that!!

I'll be heading that way Friday morning.

[Gunner55]

Stop in & give them a try. You'll turn into another regular

I'm gonna drive down to Nowthen and catch up with my brother in-law around 5 a.m.
Then head North from there....

Figure 2 hours? 8 ish?

[glenn57]

Closer to 3 hours. Might catch ya there if you stop.

Welp, he was talking about stopping for breakfast....so, this sounds like a pretty good option.
Depends on how fast he wants to get on the ice. 

[glenn57]

Keep me posted, I can plan my trip accordingly!
