Yes, I'll be keeping an eye on the Detroit River watching the ice flows coming downriver this spring. I'll keep my camera handy just in case!

Were taking the side by sides out on Lake Erie tomorrow morning, I'm getting reports of between 2 and 3 foot thick. Might be a while before it's gone

Cut a hole in the ice and the fish will probably jump out to get warm.

They are talking that water levels could be up 2 feet this summer on all the Great lakes; good news for a lot of folks.

I took my antique ice auger out yesterday afternoon, paced off 100 feet straight out from my seawall, and started digging. The auger gave up at 15 inches deep. I'm usually putting my dock in the last weekend of March, but I don't think it will happen this year.

Here's a video from Thursdays ride, haven't done anything with this mornings yet, we did get a news crew out today. We did find some nice stretches where the ice was uncovered and you could start your doughnuts at 40-50 mph and spin for forever. No video of that though we were out of the drones range

Hey Marlboro, how much ice is still in the St. Lawerence River?
