I didn't realize it, being at work, but there's like 6" snow on my truck!

We're looking at another 2"-4" here on Friday.

Yuck.  Another 6" and 10° this morning.

Nice - 

I have a driveway full myself and I'm almost certain I can hear it calling my name.

But at minus -13, I'm going to be deaf until it warms up a bit.

The forecast is actually indicating mid 20's once the southerly wind comes on later this morning.

Let's say I'm somewhat skeptical until I see it.

Been a heck of winter so far.

Whenever I start to fade a little I go out into the garage & sit in the Lund for a few minutes to recharge.

If that doesn't do it, I'll check the engine hours on the new motor - 15.

That always makes me smile.

about 6" of snowfall in my parts overnight. More to come on Saturday. March coming in like a lion... 

Geographically I don't belong on this thread, but my lake is 25 feet over Winter pool, cold and muddy....AND I pulled a bicep so fishing seems like some far off future goal. I feel the pain, literally.?

Well, either way, thanks for checking in Todd.

Hope you can be on the mend in time to wet a line once the flood waters have drawn back to fishable levels.

Those are the tough days indeed. Nothing like having a beautiful spring 50 degree day in April and then remembering that the only fishing available is ice fishing

What is ice fishing?

PS  The streams don't tend to freeze unless it's single digits, and even then, they don't stay frozen long.  If the water ain't hard, I'm putting on my waders and catching a nice meal

Happy First Day of Meterological Spring!

Hoping I can fish soon. Hudson River is frozen in these parts right now and 2” of snow tomorrow combined with 10+ Sunday night make the prognosis grim...

I feel for you, that's rough.  Hopefully by April you have some fishable water.

We've been blessed in my neck of the woods the last ten years with fairly easy winters and earlier then usually ice out......that said this winter is good ole traditional winter and we will probably have a more traditional ice out so no matter what I predict I'll be fishing no later then April 26, that said things can change fast so maybe even earlier.

ONLY 1 month & 7 more days, or 5 weeks and 3 days or 38 more days . . . .

 

And for The BR Members who are currently employed ~ 

26 working days (208 hours, assuming 8-hour workday),

12 non-working days including:

 6 Saturdays,

 6 Sundays, 

0 federal holidays (US) 

 

Either way - it's not looking very promising at all.

Still way cold, totally frozen and Huge Piles of snow everywhere.

Day times temps have been unseasonably cooler in the single digits with overnights well below the Mendoza Line.

The forecast is calling for snow more this weekend.

While conditions can & do change quickly, even if we were seeing seasonal temps for the next 3 weeks, unless they were seasonal for Haiti, I'm betting on a May time frame for any open water.

I'll be ready.

I'm rooting for an inaccurate forecast.  We may be a little earlier ice out than northern MI, but we still have a bit of waiting to do too.

After I run some errands I'm going to visit my dad a state over in Indiana for a week. They've got a few 50 and 60 degree days coming up while I'm over there. I'll be out with him attempting a bass or two.
