Snow Coming

Looking at the radar here in New England we are getting braced for our first major snow storm this afternoon. Schools are closing already or planning on leaving early to get all of the kid’s home before the conditions get to bad. We had warm temps and rain the last day or so, so the surface of our lakes is questionable as we drove by one of our lakes this morning and it had a strange look to the ice. Not sure if the rain did anything to the ice as we didn’t get a chance to check it out but with the coming snow, this is going to make ice fishing interesting to say the least. Really need to rely on that spud bar to check the ice conditions as with every step that we take areas may have softened up and gotten weak. We are also looking at another significant storm forming for Saturday night with snow accumulation which is not going to help the ice making process at all. Hopefully the ice will be thick enough so that the layer of snow insulates what is there and we are able to enjoy this early ice season. With the holiday season approaching this will bring many days and hours on the ice and reports to follow. Looking forward to exploring many different bodies of water in search of fish and meeting folks along the way that enjoy the same passion as us in fishing New England waters....
