2B,
 
As cold as it has been I Bay is still open water except in the coves (or at least yesterday PM).  I creek is below 100 cfs with a lot of anchor ice.  The Gennie dropped from 6000 to 1400 yesterday, but I think I would freeze before I got half way down the hill.  Time to sit at the vise or catch up on basement cleaning, unless I hear that the little finger lakes have hardened up!

Time to go ice fishing

Better yet, spend all your time fishing and just keep pounding out chitty flies to use. Hey what ever works

I would but work and family parties keep getting in the way.
 
Oh ya and the mrs pretends she likes to see me now and then too.
 

sorry to hijack , but Ice is nice..
Little snow around these parts and almost a foot of solid black ice..
Crazies are starting to show up with sleds, wheelers and vehicles..
 
Little warm up to mid 40's expected for a day or 2 but will not hurt a thing for the fishing around here..
 
Hope you are all safe, warm and having fun out there..

The Roller Coaster affect in Salmon Country.Wed in the fifty's with rain and now a lake affect snow warning is issued for Thurs and probably go on for a few more days.If we have a normal spring and summer there should be no lack of water come fall.
YES I'm already looking forward to it!!

Around Rochester we went from green to about an inch.
Llowing and cold but little snow.

SR is still over 2000, extremely cold and blowing.  Smaller tribs are dropping now with the cold, and were probably great Wednesday and Thursday, at least around here.  Enjoy the hardwater, conditions for ditch fishing currently don't justify any lengthy (and chancy) driving.

Update got 10  or so on Sunday night Monday.   about an inch this AM.   No to prepare for the "blizzard"  that is coming   Friday and Saturday.   Again with the blizzard stuff.   One report I read said.   "Northeast preparing for the blizzard, up to a foot to fall in some parts."    C'mon  

When the snow finally hits the ground that's when we will know the amount.  Until then its nothing but speculation.  As long as the power stays on I couldn't care less how much snow we get or don't get. 
You're right HT, all this precipitation points toward good fishing in the Spring.  Hurry April, May and June. 

I find it funny that theyre naming winter storms now...NEMO...lol... well after this weekend its going to be looking like a typical classic winter on the river. Between the wind drifts and different levels of thaw and freeze, its gonna be quite a sight.... a true steelheaders delight... have fun guys

We will see....................

I'm in the 12-20+ area in lower Dutchess County east of the Hudson River.  Blew out a brake line on my old Honda Accord yesterday, stopped by my brothers garage to see how he was making out with the repair earlier today.  His partner said he heard 24+ in my area.  Regardless, the snow blower is gassed up and ready to go.
PS: two brake lines along with gas line feed and return & evap mucho dinero just for the Honda parts-ouch.

My brothers is a mechanic with his own shop in Pawling, NY.  He also has the ability, tool and material to fabricate those lines but as you know time is money.  If he were to fabricate all five lines it would take too long.  It was my choice to buy the OEM parts.  I'm glad I did because the brake line to the right rear had more twists and turns than a Gothic novel.  I also chose to replace them all at the same time because the odds are that you pop one you pop the others sooner or later.  Its a good thing it happened while I had the car because a little over a week ago it was my daughter's car.  She lives in Albany and commutes to Saratoga every day.  At least I have the peace of mind knowing she's in a new Accord and break downs shouldn't be an issue.
 
Back to the weather:  Enjoy the snow and I'll let you know how much us flatlanders get downstate.  Twenty for you is a dusting, twenty for most of the idiots down here is a major catastrophe. 

Im interested to see what happens over the lake.... theres quite a big mass sitting over ther west end right now with plenty of wet moisture behind it to the south and west... good luck to all in the path of the noreaster... blizzards with 40+ windgusts can be brutal...
