Dick Goddard, lol. I saw that yesterday, told myself wait another day or two and it might change, usually does, but if not after that second day, then a lot of times you have to expect it to be close to what they predict, unless there is a major change.
Dick Goddard, again, lol

. I would not doubt that we see 50's again this month. It's the new trend in recent years. This sport is not for Ohioans as of late. It's wild tho, it has to be almost perfect to get good solid ice, the weather is just too inconsistent. Those temps they are showing are not historical averages. They'd be predicting mid 30s at worst, seeing 8 days or more in the mid 40s and rain is not a good sign. We have also adapted the new wind trend as well, winds have been on the uptick in the last couple years. Once again time will tell, we wait and see. At worst maybe we get those highs but the lows at night stay that, low, and re freezes what we lose during the days. No matter what happens we still need to use our heads and stay sharp with the decisions we make when we venture out. Good luck...
