    Mother Nature is doing her best to get us on ice by the weekend..

    Well,,, most places out of Prairie will take a bit longer there will be some ice to walk on soon…

    There were 3 guys between the bridges today.. i did not walk down there to see how much ice though..

    Won’t be long now Ice Heads !!!

    Are you going this weekend? I’ll be back and am going to try and get out somewhere other than between the bridges.

    I didn’t make it down to Spring Lake but there were a few open pockets of water on my ice coverage this afternoon..

    Desoto Bay is sketchy at best.. again, I did not walk down to the shore line, but there was open water there as well…

    Open water at the South Ambro Landing and I wouldn’t even try the N. landing till after the new year… Mill Coulee Creek is the main concern there..

    Greymore looks covered, but with all the springs there,, I would proceed with caution…

    Happy Holidays All !!

    Hey Dave, how did Cold Springs look? I think that should be good to go by Wedensday. I also drove by Shore Slough last Tuesday and there was some ice way up on the north end but open water down by the marina.
