Hi,

Friday March 6th about 10PM

We just arrived at governors island in gilford, and took a walk out on the ice with flashlites and a snow shovel. There's a varying 3 to 6 inches of snowball making snow on top. It is not slush. I don't think the rain happened here today. So, this looks real good for a full saturday on the lake. We'll get a few sleds out in the morning and take a better look around, if it's significantly different, I'll post back, but should be good sledding for saturday.

Cheers, David and Benjamin


UPDATE

Hi again,

It's saturday morning 7AM, we've put some bait under the ice, and checked out the snow, and it's really nice. It's pretty warm, the suns up, all I needed was a sweatshrit. I can see down past timber island and there's some activity out there, snowmobiles and trucks i think. Theres several people out ice fishing in our smaller area. Curently there is no wind, not a leaf is stiring. We'll fish for a while and then head out on the sleds and look for some lunch, maybe down alton bay. Shibley's is open fri sat and sun. A ride up Shaw Mt would be, nice this afternoon, "George are you up here today?"

Cheers, David and Benjamin
