Unless you know something I don't (which you probably do) I wouldn't try Huntington. I went there 02/26/05 and there was about 5 plus feet of snow on the ice. After slogging through chest deep snow to the ice (it kicked my.... umm butt, and I'm not too proud to admit I had to crawl off the lake on my way out)I was standing on the lake in knee deep snow. After standing around breathing for a few minutes and congratulating myself for making it that far. I set up the auger and went to work.......
On the first twist of the auger I broke through the layer of frozen snow I was standing on and sunk my auger to the handle in the snow underneath. So unless you have snow shoes, a shovel, and the patience to dig through over 60" of snow I would wait until later in the year when it melts down a little before I tried Huntington.
I didn't try electric but I imagine it would be the same.
