Are you serious? Back to open water? I'm jealous. It's psychological but I like seeing open water compared to ice.

In Missouri no ice. I have only seen our lake frozen a few years ago. You would only walk on it if you had a death wish.

Awesome shot for sure. We are supposed to be close to 50 tomorrow with rain so hopefully that will do a number on this snow and ice. I'm ready for spring!

I have a print out on my desk showing the daylight duration each day along with sunrise and sunset times. It feels so good crossing days off!

So do not miss that. Albany is getting another 5 - 8" today while it is going to be 84 with bright sunshine here. Thought you at one time were considering becoming a snowbird Jack?

Even with all the snow we are getting the lake levels are down . Most of the snow this season has been lake effect .
They need to close the locks on the Cheboygan River .The Inland Waterway is emptying into Lake Huron .
