We could very well be looking at the first ice boating of the year this weekend. This morning we had 3.5- 4 inches of ice on the west end on the newest ice. It was hard ice with a smooth surface, no ripples or pitting, no waves or shell ice as well. It looks really good. The forecast looks strong for the rest of the week with Thursday hitting mid 30's but every night in the 20's. The wind forecast is for 10-15 through the weekend with possible snow late Sunday. Can you say regatta?
