Thought I would share the following ice info for those wanting to venture out on the ice...
I Put the bob house out just in front of Locke's island facing the Glendale town docks today. A solid 9" of ice everywhere in the cove. There is no snow whatsoever so walking is slow and snowmobiles will just either over heat or burn up their hyfax runners.
A few bob houses were out in front of Belknap Point and many people were pulling houses well out beyond the Point heading towards the broads. I personally would have felt very uncomfortable going much past Locke's as you could clearly see where the new ice recently formed against the older cove ice, but there were many people venturing out well beyond that on snowmobiles and ATV's many of which were pulling bob houses out in that direction.
Lot's of houses and activity on the Southwest side of Varney point as well.
ATV's were everywhere and the ice boats put on a heck of a show out in the broads.
Have fun and be safe!
Dan
