We were up for the last 2 days.  Could feel it going up yesterday, and feets got very cold when wading from all the melt.  Definitely gave what few fish are in the river the zippermouth.  Likely done with the SR for 2016 (unless there is a good warm spell!) 

Rain , snow hovering around freezing, nothing really going on. Supposed to be another "event" at the end of the week. To add to the Thanksgiving bad ju ju, it was not my blower plugging as much as it was my auger gear stripped, The repair is almost as much as a used unit, but at least I know what I have

I think I might hang out in the Pharoah Lake Wilderness this weekend, I bet some of the smaller ponds will have an inch or better. I'll take pics.  Good luck to those hunting.  Looking at the river, maybe end of next week. We'll see.  

We will stay below freezing for the first time at the end of the week. Don't see ice any time soon though. River continues to be high. Supposed to get another bout of LE staring Friday. Hopefully bad luck des not follow like the last.

Yikes !! That's what I mean about my dislike of snow . It gets expensive !!
I'd rather spend my money on ice , lol.
Hope things don't get to bad and you weather well up there.
The artic blast is coming and I just seen a larger waterbody closer to me ( 90 mins away) that was locked today.
Yea it's coming :)

hot tuna
Check out Burge pond if you can
Please let me know of status, not ice related
Sounds like a great time , enjoy

I looked on the map, it's small and off the marked trails  The nearest shelter is cool and the trail in from Putnam is a good one.  Has  2  paddles with portages in between if you wanted to canoe it.  If we can get to it, we'll try.  Was heading in that direction anyway.   Hope you don't get that whole mess, Clint- long winter to go, yet.

 I think you better check it yourself.

We  circled around the valley that pond is in, but didn't bushwhack. A bit chilly and slippery, and not a soul out there in almost 10 miles of trails walked. We didn't camp as I had to work Sat.  Not many tracks, either.  Ice was around 3" with open water only on the in/outlets flowing.  Might need snowshoes today.  We got about 4" at home, seems to have turned to drizzle.

RJ, no it's Crab. We went in from the end of Alder Meadow, and walked down Crane Pond Road  to the trails as it was icy as hell. It's a 16 mile RT from Putts to Crane.  I would guess you could park at the entrance to the campground at the very least.  I wonder if they plow down to the hiker parking right before the launch? The pics are a beaver dam we had to cross at the head of Glidden Marsh (we luckily didn't break through!)  and the really nice shelter on Oxshoe pond. Let's talk about a trip out there in the Spring.  All the info I can find on the net, says they plow into the lot near the launch. Scenic place, even if the fishing ain't good. Hope you go and prove that wrong.

Down to single digits at the end of the week. Ice is coming.

Clint I'm guessing -12 for Friday morning

Will or will not. Will this latest band of LE dip down and organize. Lets see.

Hoping for New years weekend here.

River or ice?

Accumulation wise this was not a bad storm with 4 to 6 in my drive, about the same for cuse. What caused it to not accumulate was that the band was quick moving after it left Jeffersonian Lewis county. This am it literally followed me to work. Took 2 hours for a usually 40minute drive. This pm Syracuse was getting hit good and when that happens the whole city goes into gridlock.  Took an hour and 20 minutes to make a usual 15 minute drive out of the city and then another hour home even though the snow ended in Brewerton. Although bad, the roads and visibility was nowhere near what I would consider really bad.  North of Pulaski I am sure they got much more, but honestly it only matters what I have to pile up and deal with.
