Clint --few years ago I busted through the Crust fishing a Trib in early APRIL-bout **** deep= got stuck  and hadda  wiggle out - lol  The sun had come up  for a while and started to weaken the icy crust-Walked back in shady areas that were firm.

Guys, the 10 day is showing only one day above freezing... the highest low temperature is 19... many nights dropping down to singles... looks to me like another semi deep freeze is on its way...

Water got bumped to 900 and is gonna get bumped to 1200 tonight... despite the cold days and nights, the stronger sun is starting to play its role in thawing... even the natural flowing tribs are going up and down with the sun and moon... with some fluke warm weather coming in could we end up with a high water weekend??? I hope so, as any brake these fish can get from aggrevated pressure is whats best for them right now...

Clint, gotta agree buddy... freeze and thaw winters are great for keeping the fish on the move and keeping pressure down... i hate base flow winters... im hoping things progress just as they are as we've had an above average winter in regards to water flows... if we had a normal 285-375ish flow back a month ago the whole lower end wouldve froze up... i do hope we get atleast 2 weeks worth of high flows in april to help the dropbacks get back without getting slaughtered

Snow here,  syracuse was raining and right after Central square  you could see the line.   Probably got 4 inches today with more coming tonight .

Trev, the weekend got away from me as usual... sorry i missed ya... im glad i didnt plow it this past weekend though as a n erie/ontario bomb is about to drop...forecast says up to 17 inches by end of day tomorrow but we'll see what really happens ... send me a p.m. next time you're heading up and I'll be sure to meet up with you in person

Just took care of close to another foot from last night windy as hell too.

Quit your whining Clint!
We must have gotten an inch to an inch and a half around here!
 
 
Now for real.
That is all we got.
It is ball freezing cold with a stiff wind making it feel colder.
Glad you are getting the snow for Dime's snowpack instead of me.
I sick of running the blower and am ready forit to be spring.

Come to lake George. Lots of ice , no snow and many nice fish.
I been so sick at work lately it feels like I'm never there any longer..
Funny thing , once I walk on the ice I feel so much better :)
They are not even gonna miss me again tomorrow :) , They didn't last fri or Monday . Lol

Another winter advisery for my area,this one is talking about some freezing rain,how nice

Andy, we will do our best to get together.   I have the small boat too so the Res or Estuary is not out of the question either.

Out my window at 7 AM it looks like about 3" but the Precip report on NWS says 0.82" of water, so this is NOT snow to be moving if it can be avoided.  Water is ~8 lbs to a gallon as a liquid, and this stuff is pretty close to that now, so a shovel full is plenty heavy.

2B,and from past experience I think you will find 'snowblowing" that slop a chore in itself

PA my snowblower turned to me and said "I don't know what the frickin shot is but it ain't snow and I ain't throwing it".
That's right my snowblower apparently is an animate being.
Just run it up to the top of the shoot and dropped it all over itself til it clogged the whole unit up.
Push shoveling it was.
At least they are calling for a repeat tonite and all day tommorrow.
With luck I'll have a heart episode just big enougfh to put me on the perm gov work comp teet so I can spend my winters on the ice with Tuna.

2B,I had a chuckle when I read about your "snowblowing" experience,been there,done that.My blower is a 9.9 HP two stage,self propelled,Honda on tracks,it's the real deal!I have a looong drive and most of it is hill.But slop snow does exactly what you described.I have to clean out the chute,run it awhile,clean out the chute,.......on and on.I hate that kind of "snow"!
Luckily all we got was rain with this last system.
