I went down onto Center Harbor at Leavitt Park Saturday morning to socialize and setup a couple of tipups. The parking area was a zoo, but I got dropped off by the wife so no big deal. As everyone has said, it was an absolute mess. Lots of vehicles on the ice in this area. Some were moving, some were parked, some were stuck. It wasn't just slush either...it was standing water. Unless you were wearing high rubber boots, your feet were cold and soaked within a half hour. If you were wearing high rubber boots, your feet were just cold. I spent most of my time standing on my personal "island"...snow the group had shoveled into an area the night before. Five guys spent Friday night in my friend's bobhouse. By Saturday afternoon three of them packed up and headed home. The remaining two spent the night at our place in Meredith. I wish I could at least say the fishing was good, but it didn't seem to be. No flags in our group and only one that I saw in that general area. Needless to say I passed on the fishing Sunday and spent the day moving snow around.
