I know the sun will thin that down through the winter, but wow we usually don't see that until January most years... Watching Cutler and going to check Newton, there's a chance we might be on the ice by Saturday... I knew the ice would be too thin yesterday so I resisted the urge to go check, but we got down to 11 last night, so I'm thinking we may be in the 2" range today, so I may go punch a hole and see if my estimate is close... I just can't wait very well... Pretty sure I'm too fat to stay on top today but I think it's getting close... My snowmobile needs some work on my skis, I need to get them greased so they turn a little easier, so I doubt I'll be ready to try TG this weekend... But I think the temps have been cool enough it should be go time up there... At least worth a check... Did you hear if Mantua capped yet? I'll bet it's close if it didn't go already... Thanks for the info... Jeff
I suspect someone will make it to the top of the dam pretty soon, I just didn’t want to keep making runs and have to dig out or chain up lol. A lion hunter had gone up on a sled. Are you off this week? No haven’t seen anything more on Mantua, with the wind we had anything that formed would be less then 24hrs old. Let me know what you see at Newton and if you need a rope tender for safety or just company send me a text
