I just went thru the thread from last winter and this appears to be tracking along much the same......well, off to buy rat traps, seems there is something hanging around the deck that needs to be adjusted, don't know if I can crawl under though, with the snow......dadburn varmints......quote from Yosemite Sam....... :-D

Ha, there was the statement that we would spend next winter in the south....well as you can see that did not happen.....hurricane Michael and some family stuff.....geez....well we are sort of healthy so all is good.... :-D

You're definitely right about that. There will be lots of stuff floating in the water come spring. It's a normal right of passage from winter to spring. I've seen many things floating on or sometimes just beneath the surface of the waters. Gotta be very careful in the spring or after any hard rains during the season.

Cooler, sorry we missed you. The party was a lot of fun and the food was good. This is our first year so it was fun to meet new people.
I believe our storage is around 50-55 degrees.
Thank you for the help!

Maybe we should all meet in N'aalens. Fun place, and typically wayyy too funnn. Ya gotta like the smell of urine though. Fat Tuesday is the day we all chow down on Packzi's, isn't it? Does your bakery have them? 7F below 0 here, but alas, good news. The weather guy said this is probably it, temps slowly go up from here. It won't be long before they report the thing we all have been waiting to hear. " The high for tomorrow will be 72, winds out of the south at 5 to 10, but it will be cooler by the lake". 8-) er
Cooler By The Lake

We started on the Packzi's today and damn they were good! I remember going out on Lake St. Clair to see the "icebergs" on my grandfathers boat. Didn't realize how hard core he was until my first boat. I guess as long as we have heat we are all good.
Thank you for the help!

I see melting temps all next week after the 6" of snow were getting tomorrow that is. The marina sent me my slip renewal contract along with the invoice yesterday. :-O The signs of a new season approaching are definitely there. :down: In the mean time my wife and I are going out to take advantage of the unreal snowmobile conditions. A couple hundred kilometres and we should be back. :-D

If our weather forecast is correct we will see our first 60* day this week. When we start to see 60's on a regular basis spring is not far off.

Just got about another 8" of white gold but seems to have tapered off. This winter is discouraging. :cry: Snowmobiling yesterday was fantastic. Pic of my wife and sled yesterday around 11AM. Got in around 160km. Mildly chipped to 220hp with eco trail tune. :-D
