Deep winter continues.

Nice overperformer yesterday to at least freshen up the snowpack. Still looks good on radar wondering if we can get another inch today.

Cold morning with -10's/-20's inland with +/- sd's along the shore. -29 the lowest I've seen at Seagull Lake up on the border. Because of the clear, calm conditions, temps did a quick sunrise drop at some locales.

Ice conditions as of Feb 2. Pretty much a variety of ice thickness now.

Here's the egg code interpretation page. Stage of development has one for sea ice, and one for lake ice. So make sure your looking at the right one. (Lake Ice)

Those who dont live in the Great Lakes just cant comprehend what its like to snow all the time. Just like some here complain about the east coast big dogs, my friend on Long Island gets a kick of how theres always at least mood flakes coming down here. I always tell him, bottom line, if its cold, it will snow. Now, amounts, systems, storm track etc...thats always TBD.
