Yesterday afternoon, we received about an inch of snow, with very little wind covering the ice. It will be interesting to see how it might have changed the bite. Saturday evening, we will be getting some more, and it will be nice to have some snow for banking finally and to somewhat insulate the ice from the temperature changes.

For the weekend, after flooding and freezing the rough spots on our Gravel Bar Roads and checking ice depths on it, we gained an inch in the last couple of days. We have the shortest distance to travel to the Gravel Bars from our access and no bridges. Single axle wheelhouses, 1/2 ton trucks, and 21ft tandems pulled by a 1/2 truck can go out to the gravel bars.  Anything bigger stays inside our first two miles, where we have 19-21″ of ice.

Looking forward to a good weekend.
