Hi All,
I drove around the South Side of the lake yesterday - here’s what I saw:
- Lake ridge Island/Moundwood to Russell’s Point/Orchard Island is wide open
- Docks close to Moundwood are locked in still
- Moundwood had a 100yd streatch of ice in it (probably came off the main lake)
- Spillway flow and level have fallen - water looks clearer
- Russell’s Point/Orchard Island to the West Bank is still locked
- Paradise Point is locked still
I was surprised at the open water at the Moundwood side of the lake.
We are now going into a cold spell again. We woke to 10F this morning and the high winds we’ve had for the past couple of days have died down. The long range is showing a mix of highs in the 30s/20s and lows in the 20s/teens/single digits. It’s not going to be as cold as the last two cold spells but, enough to give us good ice I believe. If we don’t get out this weekend we will by mid week next week.
I’m going to check out Long Island tonight and try to spud out onto the ice. I’ll let you know what I find.
Andy
