Just how warm it has been this winter was driven home this morning when my neighbors called. They asked if I thought we should cancel the kid’s ice fishing event we have planned for this coming Saturday. There is only eight inches of ice on Seven Tree Pond and the weather forecast is for warm rain towards the end of the week. That scant ice cover indicates how warm it has been this winter. We usually have a couple of feet of ice for this event and have had even more some winters.
On the plus side the forecast is for warm and breezy on Saturday, pleasant weather to stand out on the ice if we are still on. We will decide whether or not to go on later this week but either way it sure has been a warm winter! Lucky for me the boat is ready to go as soon as the spring break up arrives and a warm afternoon on the water is a distinct possibility.
