Title: storm Sunday
Post by: slabslayer on February 27, 2015, 07:29:13 AM
What is everyone supposed to get? It's another 3-5" of snow here in Northeast Ohio for us. Sick of snow! !  Cold is fine, I can ice fish. I'm sick of plowing snow and dragging my shanty thru it! :( >:(  I'm running out of places to push snow.

Hey Slab... You need to build yourself a Smitty sled. Makes all the difference in the world...You can  find a thread on ice shanty.

I know. The rain will hurt the edges, but there's enough of a base at least up north here we will still have good ice but might need to plank on. Getting ready for bass season soon!

Yeah the snow is rough.  Gotta get runners.  Heard we are looking at 1-4 over the weekend in NE around Medina Co.  I think the warm rain on tues will be good to knock some of the snow down.  Looks like the rest of the week temps drop again and might firm it back up.  Not real long term but for the time being. 
If anyone knows Queen Elsa from Frozen, please give her a shout and ask for a little more time.

I'm in Canton too, and I think we'll have more time. The rain isn't going to melt 8" of snow and around 20" or so of ice in 2 days.  Will be fishing for a couple more weeks at least!  ;D

Yep, I'm going to keep going until the spud punches thru. This post did make me realize it is not going to last forever tho.  I i forget that.  I started to have bad thought.  Mowing the lawn, leaf pick up....

Need to go to a happy place.  Shantys, power augers, walleye, bikini's.   Wait bikinis.  That's summer.  Oh No!!!   It's starting!!!

The sticker for my bass boat trailer just came in the mail yesterday. I'm not ready for ice season to be over, I'm out of places to pile snow, but not done with ice fishing.  Put my long plank on the truck yesterday just in case I need it next week.
