Title: Ice for C&R opening weekend??
Post by: gmetime24 on February 19, 2014, 12:48:13 PM
This warmer air sure feels nice today but I saw next week high temps will be back between 15-20 degrees. What are your guys thoughts on possibly still having ice on the lakes?? I sure hope not but I have my doubts with the way this winter has been going

There will be pleanty of ice coming down the st clair river but It will be gone for the CR opener.  ( I hope ).  Here is a cool shot from a couple years ago.   There was maybe a 1/4  of the ice on Huron that year.

It would be ugly to hit an Iceberg running up the River... :o.........

I was looking at the extended Forecast and it doesn't look good all the way into April...

That's a cool shot of the river!

I was looking at the extended on accuweather, doesn't look good but weathermen have been wrong before. The only thing more depressing than this winter would be hard water for opening weekend. I guess it's time to consider hooking the boat up and driving far south for open water

0% chance of rain still soaks you if it rains for 3 hours straight...

We will have open water for opening day. That's my forecast.

I thought it must be some type of new watch...

Can you imagine what 'Bi-Polar Vortex' would be like?!? I actually think some of us may be suffering from this... I may start a support group ;D
