rl_sd Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Well, for the second year in a row it looks like I won’t be getting the wheel houses out. Sounds like eastern S.D. is pretty much screwed. How things looking elsewhere in MN? rundrave 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leech~~ Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 The first few weeks in Jan are usually the coldest of the year. Let's hope things lock up! I'm getting cabin fever bad! papadarv 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duffman Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Fished a central Itasca County lake on Friday, 10" of ice and pockets of substantial slush. Not fun dragging my shack the 200 yards to fishable water. And this was before yesterday's snow. Ugly conditions. Lakes looked sparse for action on the drive up and back to the cities.

Wanderer Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 (edited) People were told to get off the lake Saturday or plan to stay till Tuesday is what I heard. Drifted in bad. Operators got to their House clients first, then to their road users when they could. Edited December 30, 2019 by Wanderer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They told folks to leave the lake before it got bad. Some did not listen and now may be stuck on the lake with drifts surrounding them and water coming up for hours if not days. Folks can't even get out of their driveways yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are not far from bowstring or Jessie lake. Smurfy, our place is almost exactly 40 miles NW of GR, goin down 46. We stay off 6 & 35 as much as we can this time of year & in this kind of weather. Must be around 18 miles to Marcel for us, 14 east & about 4 north. Edited December 30, 2019 by gunner55 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanderer Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Just heard some friends that were planning on staying on LOW till the 2nd are home now. They went out on the 26th or 27th. Snowed in over the weekend and took the first chance to get out they could. Mike89 and leech~~ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
