the pictures from around the lake show most areas are very dark gray and ice in some locations is looking very thin at the edges. I like that open water now connects the shoals off Black Cat with its shoreline....a historical sign for me that things are "well in motion". If daytime temps stay in the 50s and night time doesn't drop below 30 for the next few weeks AND we get a few rainshowers (tonight) and some good wind....things could be looking good in as little as two weeks. Reasonably 3 weeks is more likely but I want to be an optimist and get my boat in....wouldn't be the first time I was out there dodging floating ice packs....or boating in the snow...
