I like that!! “They” are calling for above freezing temps for the next two weeks. March will be here soon (not wishing away time) and the light at the end of the 6 month NEPA winter will be getting brighter!!
Mike, you're right, the weather in NEPA has been tough. We had to cancel our annual ice harvest in Tobyhanna on Millpond #1 for the second year in a row. Last season we had 10 inches of ice at Christmas and open water the third week of January! Open water again today. Interesting history on the old time ice industry on the interrnet at Tobyhanna ice harvest.
