I just looked at the NWS forecast, and they are saying warming and pretty light precip through Monday next, although there is something definitely going on out around Iowa on the Satelitte pix.

Looks like the cold is holding out for one more nice weekend on the ice.  Mid 40's on Saturday.  Finally a day to out and not freeze. 
 

Clint You would (should) never have to worry about freezing on the Ice the way I roll man..
Shanty and buddy heater.. Toasty warm enough to shed the jacket..
 
If your interested in both my brother in law bought a used , like new clam 2000 shanty he didn't need for $50.00 (they run 200.00 )  and is already looking to shed it.. He has a tent pop-up and don't like the confine of the 2000..
I bought a 13lb propane tank that came with a "sunflower" (torch)heater that I don't want for cheap.. I wanted the tank, not the heater.
The Ice is still nice and temps for Lake George this Sat are looking STELLER 46 deg and sunshine :)
Hope you
Wack em' man !!!

At least a foot on the ground and snowing lightly.  Waiting for it to stop so I can fire up the snow thrower and shovel the walk.  Hope this is Winter's last gasp. 

Gonna be a bang up day today with nice sunny weather.  A real oddity here for winter.   HT I have a  sunflower I used to use in the garage,  but it does not do much without a shanty so interested I am.   Was looking into a larger pop up one, but I got to thinking I go out alone alot so that 2000 may fit the bill.

Still trying to regain some core heat.
Sposed ta be mid 40s today but there ws ice on the windows predawn as I headed out.
Ended up putting 3 into the net of a nice bead lifter.
Had 5 more on I couldn't handle 2 of which I am pretty sure were wrong enders that I tried to bull in but snapped me instead.
Beader had 1 on he had no chance with.
 
One of mine was a male in the low double digits, another a beautiful female pushing 10 and the last a male 5 or 6.
All in all a nice mornings fish but the ratzassbastard that was supposed to meet me did't show and I was planning on stealing his egg sacks.
Some people!
Speaking of DON'T MAKE ME BREAK OUT THE OLD JACK nickname Chuckie. 

not much good to say about it today.. raining cats & dogs out there, ice is shot (locally) , cricks are chocolate goo and my 5' snowman I made with grandson sunday is toast..
Mud season,,, yuck  !!! Glad I'm taking a week off and hope the fish will still be hungry next week  !!

 

Same here HT lost alot of snow and a shanty went through at sandy pond yesterday.   Looks like it may be a relaxing weekend for once.

Snowing pretty good and about 4 to 6 inches already.   Where is that nice weather???

6 in the drive , but alot blown away during the day.   I bet it was BRUTAL on the river today.
