Don't forget your shovel!                                               

no need.

The 10 day I seen yday had some precip in the fcast for next weekend & still does for Saturday. PM  showers, only 30% but I don't trust those guys.  Besides it's better to have it & not need it than......................... , at least in my book. 'Sposed to be 50* up there today.

[Rebel SS]

It's March in Minnysoda.  Could be 20" snow.

[Gunner55]

The fcast can change real fast this time of year too.

[glenn57]

  I got one already in the truck...….and we have like 5 of them up there. pretty sure I can manage!!!!!!

seen a report this morning Roosevelt by outing still has 30 inches of solid ice...……..

 

[Rebel SS]

Not Deer River, but the ice is danged near off the river at Red Wing/Lake Pepin....
 The barge season should be open real soon!

I just looked at the webcams up there...……..looks like Geigers plowed there access shut!!!!!!!!!

[Gunner55]

Yeah it does, it wasn't like that the last time I peeked at it which might've been Saturday. Can only think of a couple reasons they'd do that & 1 is that they're leavin for a few days as I know some in their business like to do right about this time or the conditions have deteriorated so much they want to discourage anyone from goin out their access. Eyeguy might know what's up.

Just don't want to hear if you'd happen to get stuck up there.                                                                                                                          

[glenn57]

[Gunner55]

  A late reaction from too much fun on Saturday? Or over doin it in the nice weather yday?   Sure hope you didn't get to close to that Covid19 case in Ramsey County that was in the news.

The little PA just south of them by Northern Acres, Bowstring's NW access, that I ride down to on the wheeler when the weather's decent usually starts havin a pretty nasty pressure ridge on the north side of it ,bout this time of year makin it kinda tough to get out of. Yeah, on The Narrows cam that north part on the west side must have quite a bit more current 'cause it's almost always darker looki.

looks like i'm not going up this weekend. just dont feel up to it. so i'm moving it out a week............so Mike...... I WONT BE HITTING THE DECOY SHOW this year!!!!!

my step dad wants to bring the boat of his up there home and they must be scared of the conditions so they want someone there. his master plan is to sell the current boat, sell the motor on another boat he has, its a lund and buy a 4 stroke 15 horse and bring that one up to the cabin.

this boat thats up there has a drain plug on the floor. really dumb place if you ask me.

[Rebel SS]

Isn't that so you can drain it while on the lake? 

[glenn57]

not where that plug is!!!!!!!!!! not my boat so dont care.........he's replacing it with a lund and new 4 stroke!!!!!!! win win!!!!!!!!

[glenn57]

cant see much on the cams up there ...........pretty foggy!!!!!!!!

I hear ya!!  just the same as me missing the game feed.. it's all good...  let me know if ya want any thing.. I still plan on going, even with this dang thing hanging off me...

Yeah, I looked today too & couldn't see much on Bobber's cam either. Thought I seen a couple snowflakes on the TE's cam, sure looked to me like the pile of snow blocking their access got bigger too.

[glenn57]

now it looks like Geigers opened up there access to the lake??????????

[Gunner55]

I thought so too yday but now I'm not so sure. Today it kind of looks like they pushed that pile of snow that was across the ramp down to the shoreline. Can't tell for sure, take a peek & see what you think?

[glenn57]

yea it does kinda look like they pushed some of that pile down on the lake???????

pretty quiet up that way!!!!!!!!

[Gunner55]

Nobody around on either cam since the last shack came off the ice at the Narrows, that I've seen. That grey slushie lookin area on the NW side over there sure seems like it's gettin bigger everyday to me. Even with the colder temps this week.

[merc]

Geigers posted that there have been a few trucks on the lake but urged that the ice is not safe. Mostly just frozen slush. I will agree from what I saw when I was out there. Some people don't use much common sense.
