Here is a snapshot of this morning at 7 AM for your review. I was planning on going ice fishing today, but, well, you can figure it out...

Frank what is that monster fish in your avatar?I haven't been on the ice in over a week. Aside from the cold and wind, Oneida has 2 feet of snow to trek thru and clear for every hole to drill. Not a good time with a 5 year old in tow.
we didn't get killed with sow this year, just your typical 4-8" at a time. Easy to manage at that rate. Maybe but its been very constant, like a foot per week with not a lot of thaw. So we are ending up with 3-4' on most of the lawns and on the lake. Snowmobile guys happy, ice fishing guys not so much. I don't recall in the past 8 years of living in CNY having a stretch this cold for this long though. By the time the snow is off the lake there will be 3' of ice to drill thru.
Going out to walk the dog at 6AM it was -6, -24 windchill. The dog (St. Bernard/ Great Pyrenees mix) thought it was great. He just lay down in the driveway and just wanted to "chill", literally. With all that fur he's always looking for the coolest floor to lay on in the house.

The crazy thing is that it's warmer in Alaska than Virginia.
