Short Ice report Jan. 16th
Message:
Hi, Had to run down to Staples, in Torrington, to get ink for my printer. Decided to check out some waters on the way home. (4:00 PM) My on site Observations: Stillwater -> Snow covered and No foot prints going out. Park -> Snow covered and No foot prints going out. Winchester Lake -> Snow covered and No foot prints going out Burr -> Snow covered and No foot prints going out Highland Lake (at the boat ramp) -> Snow covered -> 2 Long open water leads across north end of 1st Bay + a couple of wet looking spots middle of 1st Bay. Snow is heavy and wet -> This will insulate and put heavy weight on what remaining ice (50% white on top of 50% black) there was after this past warm spell. Snow will fill in and hide the holes drilled the last few days + it will be sloppy! Next 2 days -> Though cold .... there will be lots of sunshine and snow will melt on top of the ice. -> Not a good condition for the making of new ice. If you go out -> "CHECK THAT ICE THICKNESS" every few feet starting from the shore outward :!: Stay Safe thumbup SeaDog1
