Todd welcome aboard!!! Todd's and old bridge buddy of mine that I don't get a chance to see to often but hopefully will be able to get it together on the ice.

I don't know how you fared with the snow your way Todd but we got hammered, I'd say a solid 8" with drifts up to 14"... So instead of fishing today I spent 2.5 hours clearing snow and just got finished.

We have a quite a few shore goats here Todd and it's great to have another knowledgable fisherman on board... Gonna check the weather reports and see how the CNY areas faired with this snow fall. Could be great for some lakes and detrimental to others. What a messsed up year...

Thanks again tim I just got back from a little road adventure. The only ice report i have moraine has a good 3 inches 10 to 15 feet out took me about 4 hard hits with the spud bar and I was through i didnt have a rope with me or i would have tie it to my truck and went out futher not worth the risk without someone else there.All the other small lakes have about 4 to 6 inches of SNOW on top some open water around the edges.

Thank God them smaller lakes didn't get hit with more of the white stuff. Thanks for checking it out Todd. Hopefully the wind will move some of it off but I have a feeling with that area being semi-protected it might be there to stay. Dang and these temperatures today and tonight promote good ice development, but you throw a 6" blanket of snow on top it's like throwing a heated blanket over the entire thing. Ice gods we could use a break on the lake effect please.
