Freakin' Weather

I've only made it out twice this year and now I am watching pouring rain, lightning, and hearing thunder.Never a boring minute in Minnesota.Of course, I hadn't even been out once at this time last year.If I would have known this was coming I would have been sitting out in the portable with a few cold ones.Nothing like a little thunder and lightning while icefishing.Hope its better up north.

I love thunderstorms, but this is one of the few times that I'd rather not see one. I was looking forward to fishing some Mpls. lakes this weekend. Hopefully it doesn't mess the ice up too much, otherwise I'll see some of you diehards on the river. Vern

How much did it rain down there? Up here in Bemidji, it's just windy.

Here in Winger the wind died down to a light breeze now and a mixture of wet snow & rain. They are talking rain & snow & icy roads. 32 so it is nice out. Hope we don’t get too much rain and freeze the power lines or trees. Minnesota the state with two seasons WINTER & ROAD CONSTRUCTION?

Merry Xmas

Still light rain here South of Willmar. Ice is getting really bad. Tried to get a fish house out last night that went through on Big Kandi. Bigger house and in about 12 feet of water with water on top and the wind a howling!! Started to rain and was getting late. Decided to anchor it as best as possible and took 4 other houses off in the rain! Not good at all!!

You guys have to be optimistic! I was out Monday and Tuesday before the sun came up and did pretty good on about 9" of good ice. The rain will freeze up on top soon because it is supposed to be colder over the weekend. I like this time of year because there isn't much traffic.
It is going to be slick until we get a little snow!

Its getting pretty sad when you have to hope the rain freezes on top of the ice to make it thicker
