I know for sure we didn't freeze last winter and I don't remember one the year before, either.

I thought it was cute, but my daughter isn't happy with me.

"I know what ice is, Dad. Thanks for making me sound retarded."

:D

Wasn't the year before the year of the "Great Christmas Feeze"? I think it even snowed. Granted it was not cold one single day other than that.

Maybe, I don't remember.

If this cold weather keeps up I'm going to have to buy another pair of long pants!

:D

Next week it's supposed to be back in the 6os/70s. Sounds like fishin' waether to me....

I never understood the ice and heater combo on a frozen lake. It would seem like water and electricity, not a good comination.LOL

The reds are running good I hear. This front should help it out. I have to work the weekend but was going to go Monday or Tuesday maybe.

Never heard of an ice hotel.

Weird.

Scott, a buddy called me to go last Wednesday- 30 minutes after I had scheduled a job. He went to Hopedale with two other guys and they limited on specks with a lot of 3 and 4 pounders.

They caught some reds, too.

JL fought one for over half an hour but lost it at the boat. They got a real good look at it and it was over 4 feet long.

II'm dying here!

I've always wanted to boot around those huts with a snowmobile doing 80km/h.

When I was in college, four of us guys spent a few days for New Years at a buddy of mine's cottage. 4 hours north of Toronto in the middle of nowhere on a lake. Drag racing snow mobiles on the lake @ 95km/h. Stuff like that.

Then it hits me. In the summer we pulled a tube with the boat. Leave it to me to come up with a stupid ass idea that could potentially kill us.

Needless to say we were intelligent enough to safe route.....motorcycle helmets :)

Wish I had pictures. Two guys, in the middle of a frozen lake, dressed in snow suits and helmets, laying ontop of a blown up inner tube, tied to the back of a snowmobile, bopping up and down @ 75km/h. (to be safe that's what we agreed our top speed would be)....what a bunch of morons!!! :)

I'll never forget it...the good old days.
