2014 Start in NW Ohio.....Snow!!!!!!

    Looks like I need to move to Southern Ohio.... Had 3 to 5" of ice last weekend before warm up and then temperatures dropped; looking forward to good ice finally on bigger lakes with upcoming single digit highs and negative lows BUT.... now we're getting 8 to 9" of snow today and tonight. Won't make much ice with that much insulation.

NE Ohio is in same boat.  Hope it forces water up on the ice, that will melt the snow, then with the lows, it'll all freeze.  That would be perfect, 4" of instant good ice. It could also cause no ice formation also if conditions are right.  We hope for the best, or we all will be on Indian this winter.  If that happens the fish will be as far away from the man in the yellow suit as possible!!

Just finished plowing driveway, with this cold our snow is extremely light. Reminds me of the snow at -40 degrees when I lived in Alaska; would stack up to 6" on tiny tree branches. I don't think we'll have enough snow weight with this storm to force the water up, but I can hope. Will have to hit some smaller water on Saturday.

No snow from Wooster south Shreve lake should thicken up real good this week.

Snow finally moving out of NW Ohio.. Blowing and drifting. Most counties level 1 or 2 snow emergency.  Negative temps tonight,  high of 20 Saturday, accumulating snow again on Sunday. Next week; highs in the the single digits and lows to -15 w/o windchill. I think we got about 10" of snow.  If we didn't have the snow, I'd be breaking out the gas augerftp://
