To me the most miraculous thing is to look at Snake Eyes one day and see open water, and to wake up the next morning and see it solid!!!
This is all FLLs fault for taking his boat lift out!  |
All is not lost just yet....the long range outlook is for much colder than "normal" weather to arrive in the northeast the end of next week and as it looks now may hang around for a while. Hang in there. The 36 degree water is a result of the ferocious winds of yesterday turning the lake over a bit. I would expect it to drop back down after this warm spell.
