looks like the downhill slide once again

The snow is melting and while the parking lot here is still covered its all heading downhill. The snow is very hard and packy in spots and slushy in others. Its hard to drive thru even in 4 wheel drive. The lake is still ice covered and here is a link to a short video clip from yesterday when I walked out about 20 yards off shore and to boot there was some fool that actually did ride his sled all the way across the lake yesterday. I saw the fresh tracks heading straight out and I talked to someone this morning that saw him do it. I only walked out a little ways and I know it was knee to waist deep where I was so I wasnt to worried and I punched a hole in the ice and it was 3 or 4 inches thick right where I was. I am still wondering how long the ice will last. It was about 32 last night. Here is a link to the video clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LcGfqN78YAI   Thanks for checking in. Pete
