Lets do that again!

That very well may be the case again this year! In fact, the ice will likely be better.
Bottom line is the lake should be safe, as the ice should be solid and thick. That is great for the local economy and for the folks that come to the lake from all over to enjoy our winter sports and activities.
I hope you enjoy your time here in February. I should there be poking around, taking pictures and saying hello to friends. The people that work so hard planning Derby Weekend deserve a great event. They should have one this year!
The next few days will be very, very cold. I hope the folks that live up here year-round are able to keep their families warm and safe. It is really tough for many of them. You have to be here most of the year to see it and understand.
