WOW....that is all we can say after the snow storm that hit us yesterday. What was left was a blanket of 11 inches of fluffy white snow and snow in New England is quite a sight to behold. Commutes home last night were rather long and if you had to take any of the major roads they were in grid lock. This morning everything has been cleaned up and is back somewhat to normal once again. Looks like a snow cleaning weekend this weekend and also there is a Nor'Easter that is going to hit the New England region depositing snow and rain in its path. Between that and what was left behind last night, looks like this weekend there won't be any fishing going on. Have not checked any bodies of water today to see what the snow is doing to our ice conditions. After having rain earlier in the week and now around 11 inches of snow on top of the ice, hopefully the ice is in the same state yet as it was last weekend. We definitely will need to be using a spud bar in the coming days to make sure that the ice that we do walk on is strong enough to support us. If you are not using a spud bar on your ice fishing outings as of late, there is the danger that you may be taking a swim in the icy cold water. Make sure to have all of your safety equipment with you if you are planning on hitting the ice this weekend....
