From Web Central all of the lake has skimmed over. :div20: It will probably be at least two weeks before it is thick enough for travel.
I make it a personal rule to never go out on first lake until after January 15th. :div20: This year I may wait until January 30th, if cold weather does not stick around. :banghead:

It's a shame, but i'll agree with those statements. Every April around here, snowcheck time, people complain about how expensive the new sleds are, but we all grin and bare it. Then, in DECEMBER we're all eager to run them on a couple inches of snow over rocks or on the lakes that have just frozen. I'd hate to break or sink mine this weekend and have the storm of the century spring up during the week. Everybody just needs alittle bit of patience. :fluffy:

Thanks for the Update Mark. I ll take your Advise to the Next Level and Not go on that Lake Anytime unless I m following someone who s familier with it. Seems like a lot of people take the Arctic Plunge in it because they are not familier with it.

what sucks is this time last year I was riding across First Conneticut Lake and it was plenty safe.
