Thanks for sharing the pics Phil. It's an awesome sight, to watch one of those powerful ice breakers work.
Yeah - this is a weird winter here. Two nights ago it was 8 below zero,yesterday, the temp went up to 40 above zero and it rained all night, and melted most of the snow, and there is a small lake in a low spot in my yard and my driveway is like a skating rink. Solid ice and glass smooth. I got to go out and spread sand on it or the UPS driver wont come in.
Buckhunte14 is right - it aint even half over yet, and the worst - as far as the snow - is yet to come. Some years, we get most of our snowfall in March and early April, so you never know up here.
The ice fishing is just getting good, where we can drive our trucks all over some of the lakes.
