    The outlook here in south central WI is averaging 40’s through Feb 16th….with lows in the 29/30ish and only a couple days of a high of 30.
    With all the general discussion of how mild of a winter we’re having, I’m getting the feeling we are all in for a rough March/April. I remember a few years of having the boat ready and looking forward to an early March Miss trip, only to be slapped in the face with 16″ of slush and dropping temps….Though on the bright side, hopefully we don’t have 30″ of snow melt off and send the Miss and other rivers from almost perfect to flood in 2 days

    I feel bad for lhprop1.

    On the other hand it’s given new life to my quest to finish re felting of my boat trailer. What fun.

    I feel bad for me too, but I feel worse for all of the fish who were looking forward to making my acquaintance this winter.

    No bugs is one of the best things about ice fishing. No bugs, no jet skis, no tuna boats, no sun burn, no falling out of the boat, no lack of parking spots at the landing, no forgetting to put the plug in the boat, no AIS check points, none of that oppressive 75 degree heat. . .

    And drinking apple pie is just wrong when the temp goes above 32 degrees.

    If more of you had taken me seriously and signed my petition we wouldn’t be having this problem. Next time we’re cursed with an unseasonably warm winter, I won’t be asking for you to sign the petition . . . I’ll demand it.
