I was thinking of bring the ATV up to Chaumont for ice fishing I don't think I'll make it down the driveway.

Most of the heavy snow is forecast for Tug Hill, so Chaumont might be okay for ice fishing. Have you heard any good fishing reports up there recently?
I won't be fishing again until the walleye opener in May. The way this winter has been going, the smaller lakes will be froze over until the end of April. I like to hit the smaller lakes for trout in my 16' boat in April, as long as I have access to the water.

That's good to hear it's staying more South, they have been catching a few nice eyes but not consistent from what I have heard. Chaumont Hardware usually has some reports on their site and facebook page. I'm the same way but wanted to give her a shot this winter, it would be my first time fishing for them in the winter. Last May I couldn't find the bite but saw a lot of charters struggled so I didn't feel so bad. I have a place on the Bay by the state park so I don't fish much other than the Bay and out to Galloo and Stoney.

Last year was a good walleye bite on Mud Bay through the ice. Then the night before opening day was that big blow. It raised the water level about 3ft in a very short time, it put my friend's 25ft Grady on top of it's dock at Hidden Harbor. We had a lousy walleye season, followed by a very slow salmon season. I caught my first eye in August, fishing solo on my 22ft Sabre, a moonshine spoon down the chute on 5 color lead core.

We were at zero, but the cloud cover has moved in and warmed us up to 6. I loaded up the front porch with sugar maple today, as well as the two racks on the hearth, to get us through the rest of the week. My dually Cub Cadet 45" wide snowblower is getting a major workout this winter.

It could be more like 3-4ft by Friday if we get stuck in one of those persistent lake effect snow bands. Of course it won't "look" like that much snow because the 40mph winds will cause lots of drifting and blowing snow. I'm on the northern edge of Tug Hill. When I drove to work Sunday (two days ago) I had to stop driving and wait for the road to re-appear again through all the blowing snow.

My sister lives out near Erieville. She does not envy the plateau at all.

I'm not a fan of all this snow. I don't ski, and I don't own a snowmobile. In fact, I sold my snowmobiles several years ago because the snow was usually too deep to use them, unless I stayed on groomed trails. I never rode the groomed trails though. Combine that heavy snow with the -30 or more wind chills, and it makes for some miserable conditions. We could end up with 15-20 feet of snow this winter! That's not something I like to "brag" about
. I'd rather brag about warmer temps and less snow.

I am with you on that. The 1st winter I remember was known as "The Blizzard of '77."I'm not a fan of all this snow. I don't ski, and I don't own a snowmobile.

We had a blizzard in 77 when I lived in northern Illinois. It must have been one heck of a storm!

How much snow have you receive so far? It looks like certain areas near you could get another 3 to 4 feet of snow.

I've honestly lost track of the snow. Sunday was roughly 2ft. Monday and today was another 5-8", still snowing tonight.
Accuweather now has our wednesday-friday forecast at 3-6ft, depending on the snow bands, which could dump 3-5 inches per hour.

That's a chit load of snow, how's that big snow blower handling it?

My snowblower is doing great! I can't believe they discontued this model. I've had it for 4 or 5 winters now and it's never missed a beat.

That would work great on our driveway, it's pretty much a straight run except for one bend. Do you have chains on the tires?
