Lake Wentworth Ice

gokart-mozart · 12-07-2025, 11:22 PM

I have lived on Lake Wentworth since 1988.

The lake was frozen over on December 6, which matches the earliest date I have seen in my time here.

What ths means for Winni I don't know, since the major factor now will be wind and water movement, and there's a LOT more water to move around on Winni.

If the long-term outlook is right, though, it shouldn't be too long - maybe before Christmas.

Well, some silicone sister with a manager mister told me I've got what it takes, so there's that...

Springsteen version, or Manfred Mann version? Tell the truth!

Springsteen all the way. Manfred Mann is great too - but I grew up with The Boss!

I am sure posters under a certain age or fans of a different musical genre are puzzled

Manfred Mann's "extended" version with the guitar jam and "but, mommaaaa...that's where the FUN issss" is the best version.

I'll fight anyone who disagrees*.

*Not really—just emphasizing how much I prefer this version over the rest.
