As far east as Wadena & almost as far as Park Rapids.....................no travel advised. Just spent ~ 45 minutes out making our driveway passable, opened up the neighbors too. Hands & feet started to get cold, close to 4" here.

Alexa and the 2 phone apps are usually pretty close, but our indoor/outdoor temp gauge runs about 5 degrees warmer, under the soffit on the north side.

 :scratch: Usually it's only on the 24/7 Bemidji weather channel do we ever see 10-15* difference & that's usually between Bemidji & DR which are 55 miles apart. :crazy: :confused:

Those kind of temps & the locals usually have a lot of stories about propane/furnace problems when we talk to 'em.  :doah:

Maybe wait until later season when the snow melts down. Late season is the better fishing anyway.

Hadn't been out for a week so we went over to Riley's yday for a little HH. The owner was working & I mentioned that it'd either been colder than snot or snowing ever since we came up. He kind of :laugh: & said yeah, we're due for break.  :rolleyes: Then I asked about getting around out on the lakes & he said it was pretty much limited to plowed roads only. The couple next to us then said that the drifts were big, nasty, & just about everywhere the last time they were out. So, I kind of expected to hear that from your brother.

We had a wheeler with tracks out front late yday morning, he fished about an hour & it looked like he was planning on leaving the bay. He never made it, it looked like too much snow to pull his sled/gear. He shoveled it out, unhooked made a track to turn around. Started back this way & had to stop 3-4 times. It looked like he was clearing snow from inside the tracks then mostly to me :scratch: but it took him > than 1/2 hour just to get off the bay. He had company ~ 4, a S x S with tracks, they stopped out front again for a bit but then the wheeler returned to the resort but the other left the bay. The S x S came back in a few minutes but just a bit later I seen the wheeler leaving the bay too. In the afternoon neither of them was pulling a sled full of gear.

 Went down to get the mail about 2 so I went up the road to check out the resort. There's at least 5-6 trucks with maybe 4 trailers & a car over there.  Looked like they are in 2-3 of their bigger new cabins to me. :scratch: It didn't look like anybody was out on the lake then but we just seen 3 SxS's & 1 smaller wheeler going in or out. The ones just going out were pullin sleds with their gear as you can now see where they have a trail packed down. Couple of the SxS's were big enough to be carrying 4. :confused: The neighbor has been sitting on his pail out there since before 7 AM again today. Out there 'til dark last night too. :crazy:
