Ice Out

[mnmtranching]

One of life's pleasures that the Southern Folks miss out on.

Pics were taken Fri morning, just before the latest blizzard.

Open water :shock: been frozen over since mid Nov.

They were just saying on the radio that the resorts around here are a little worried they won't have enough open water for the opener. How are the lakes looking near you you?

The small lakes were opening by Fri. This morning were iced over again. I can remember a few openers with snow. One time the net froze to the side of the boat. I mentioned that the BL earlier today, how cold it can still be in mid May. I also said for sure, that I would NEVER have another net freeze to the side of my boat.

Too dang cold for sure!!! :frowns:

Nope, the wheels are put away, and out comes the sleds and skates.

Yes, it is useless. Brings new meaning to "spinning your wheels".
