Finally we have a little snow that stuck on the ice and didn't blow away. A whole inch(or less). Cross country travel remains fine without plowing but we have now scraped a path out to mudflat country that will maintain from now on. The only active crack in our areas is the one we have bridged along shore, that is changing with every big temp swing. Thanks for everyone's patience as we work on keeping the bridge usable.
Drifting around the houses is causing some flooding so either block things up more or have the house moved to greener pasture. Plowing those drifts ( on the north and west side of the houses will only make bigger drifts and more weight on the ice.
Fishing reports are stable. Many are catching a few along shore in 28-30ft. and some are gettng good numbers on small spots out the various mudflats. Plain hook and bobber rigs are still are out pacing the jigs.
