WOW, I have never seen a frozen lake before. I'm just waiting on mine to come in so I can get on the water.

Brilliant!
I can mount propane weed burners across the bow of my boat, and carve my way up and down the lake!

Well Bob, looking at your pic, the lake still looks like a few hundred feet low

Actually, it IS about 48 feet low - and that's the best it's been since 2012. The runoff is just starting, and the lake will be rising over a foot a day in the next few weeks.

Big ol' Rainy is being a stubborn beotch. Still solid on the big water although some of the little back bays are starting to break up.
Hmph.
