Neighbor_guy Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Just a little on the chilly side, but once it's more than -5 it all feels the same. Guess we will just have to hope the wind don't blow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrklean Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Someone should bring an extra house for a warming house Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJ1657 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Someone should bring an extra house for a warming house My house is an 8x8 insulated and I have a hole cover that you can stand on. Quite a few people can fit in there to warm up. I'll have two heaters in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah MI doesn't seem to care as long as you don't use gas or oil to start it and it's only clean wood used, my brother missed a pike last winter on my buddies private lake and speared a half burnt log from years ago, lol!

MJ1657 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 The sky is falling!!! Dixon's said you can still get around by ATV but chains are recommended. Nothing that can't be dealt with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordie Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 The sky is falling!!! The sky would be way easier to deal with than 15 inches of snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrklean Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 The sky is falling!!! Dixon's said you can still get around by ATV but chains are recommended. Nothing that can't be dealt with. Did they say how much ice is up there now and how thick is the snow? Looks like i need to track down some chains for my 4 wheeler tomorrow.

MJ1657 Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Dealer called and gave me the info so I'm not sure. I guess they were plowing some roads to their houses with the Kubota. They weren't plowing down to the ice just skimming off the top. My guess is the Kubota isn't quite as good at getting around as an ATV so we should be fine.I have chains for mine. I'll gladly drag anyone's stuff out. Dealer has chains for his side by side too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrklean Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Dixonss just posted this on facebook looks like good news to me,8 inches of ice now on the 3RD River. Most of the snow was blown off the ice so only about 2 to 3 inches and some drifting. Water clarity is great straight out, a little murky down at the clay banks. Ice at clay banks about 4 to 5 inches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJ1657 Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Wind is supposed to let up for the weekend. Other then a little cold snap the weather should be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryan p Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 I know it's not what any of us what to hear but there's more then 2 to 3 inches of snow on the lake, that's how much when this storm started add another 15 inches to that. Going to be a little tough for the time being with a atv. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neighbor_guy Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 I have the wheeler/chain on ready to go. If I don't have to get the sled ready that would be a big help as the trailer for the sled would also need attention. I may try to risk it and just go atv... It will be a test, but what's fishing without a challenge right??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
