Talked with a friend who lives up in Oshkosh. He says that Lake Winnebago's ice is now about 33 inches thick and that most ice augers are not long enough for the fishermen to be able to drill through it. This is one cold winter. :?

Bet this is going to be one of those years Cooler has snow :snow in the parking lot. Not to worry those of you who have not attended a Cooler before but the snow I am referring to is that from the piles the snow plows made and they have not completely melted by the time our event occurs.

Lake Michigan also has quite a bit of ice on it. Not froze over yet. Last time it froze over was 1978/1979 winter. It has a long way to go because it has been to windy. :snow :snow :snow :snowstorm: :snowstorm: posting.php?mode=smilies&f=1#

Ok. I am confused. I see a picture of a yellow tear but in the post these are not pictures of the inside of that tear. They look like pictures from the inside of maybe a Scamp???????????????? :thinking:
