Two weeks ago Waukewan was frozen over but Meredith Bay still had some open water. With all the warm weather I'm sure it's not anymore but we are going to have a streak of cold weather now so Waukewan should be good. We'll have to wait and see about Meredith Bay.

I would hate to make assumptions especially with players coming all the way from Florida. I am sure one nice forum member can pass by both and post some photos. I would but will not be up until late next week.

its happening either or Waukewan or the bay, Me thinks they are trying to hold onto Meredith as long as possible before having to make the decision to move it. and I hope they wait up until the last minute it is so much better out on the bay

I was told by a source that the bay had 4-5 inches in most spots earlier in the week, and there is not enough open water for the wind to break up and with the cold we should be good to go

just still might be open water near Eagle Island down near the weirs

They hold out as long as possible but significant snow shortens the window as there is more prep time of the rinks

If the bay is locked in and has 4-5” as you say, I cannot see why the hockey tournament would not occur there. It’s brutally cold out now and for the next week anyway which will certainly drastically increase ice thickness in a short time!

I look forward to your responses on my "best way to launch a new jetski" thread.

I got here last night and there were no ice houses on waukewaun and no one on the ice, That tells me it's not safe. When I was here 2 weeks ago there were people out there fishing but no huts. I haven't seen Meredith Bay yet.

They have the latest and greatest equipment but they have meatballs for employees. I replaced the ball joint and rebalance all the tires on my 15 year old wheel balancer. All is good now, happy customer.
They are going to be mad when they hear I'm calling it quits in a few mont
