Ice Update - December 15, 2025
Took a quick ride into the Notch Monday morning. There was a lot more climbable stuff than on Thursday. At this rate by the weekend many things will be in normal IN conditions.Weather permitting of course. NOTE - possibility of rain late Thursday! FWIW In many placed right now, including my yard, the ground is simply NOT fully frozen. Please don't count on getting those solid turf-shots... Protect early and often!
