The lake continues to grace us with over 2 feet of ice and a good 8 to 10 inches of snow the consistency of (thanks to the recent warm spell) your mother’s best mashed potatoes, or a mid-August snow cone. Although, not nearly as tasty upon an untimely face plant. Fortunately, the forecast is for our dear friend winter to return at the end of this week, bringing us cold, unsettled conditions, firming up the snowpack, and providing us the possibility to redeem our side of the nation with some personal best speed runs.
