Snow mobiles?

Am I losing it or am I hearing snow machines out on the lake today?

Best riding on the lake this time of year

I hope not -- But there is plenty of ice in many spots -- I heard F & G was out there yesterday

Saw eight of them going through Ctr Harbor and towards Patrician shores last Sunday. A couple skimmed the open water in front of our dock.

Plenty of ice still for that. There was even one clown with a truck on the ice at 19mi last Sat.

Yes, I saw two out from Long Island bridge this morning. There is water at that shoreline so they kept a distance away.
Seems nuts to me.
70 degree temps forecasted this weekend.

26" wow. Still skimming from the shoreline and onto 12" of solid (not honeycomb or porous) ice here on Sebago. Gonna be at least another 10 days to 2 weeks.
