Ice Fishing around the corner.

A few weeks ago I rebuilt the carb and put a new plug in my 20 year old Jiffy. Runs like new! Now I'm thinking that chased off old man winter.

Lakeport water temp is 38 degrees today. That's still about 2 weeks behind last year, but with the sustained overnight cold over the coming week, I'd expect that we'll see a lot of ice forming very soon. May be the 3rd or 4th week of January before we have "safe ice" -- for me that's at least 7 inches of black ice but sustained cold temps with no snow cover could catch us up to last year over a couple of weeks. Doesn't look like any material snow for a while either which is good for ice-making, not so good for snowmo's.

Has there ever been a winter when the lake didn't freeze over entirely?

THE BLONDE GOES ICE FISHING

A blonde wanted to go ice fishing. She'd seen many books on the subject,
and finally getting all the necessary tools together, she made for the ice.

After positioning her comfy footstool, she started to make a circular
cut in the ice. Suddenly, from the sky, a voice boomed,

"THERE ARE NO FISH UNDER THE ICE!"

Startled, the blonde moved further down the ice, poured a thermos of
cappuccino, and began to cut yet another hole. Again from the heavens
the voice bellowed,

"THERE ARE NO FISH UNDER THE ICE!"

The blonde, now worried, moved away, clear down to the opposite end of
the ice. She set up her stool once more and tried again to cut her hole.

The voice came once more,

"THERE ARE NO FISH UNDER THE ICE!"

She stopped, looked skyward! and said,

"IS THAT YOU LORD?"

The voice replied,

"NO, THIS IS THE MANAGER OF THE HOCKEY RINK!"
