No kidding. So those years when we had 20"+ it must have been crazy cold for a while. What kind of ice do you think the lake is generating these days? 1/2" a day? 1/4" a day?

I seem to remember having a derby, probably about 20 years ago, that we had 30" of ice halfway down Meredith bay. Can anyone remember that year? Whats the most ice you guys can remember?
