PINETREE	01/04/2012 09:18AM On Rose I would watch where you go. That was a late freeze over. Did your friend say anything about how many fishermen there were out and about?
walleye_hunter	01/04/2012 07:30AM quote fenwick4life: "Any updates on ice for lakes such as; north, mountain, rose, Clearwater , ect." Fenwick- Last night I spoke with someone that was on Rose last weekend. He did not break through so Rose and Duncan are good to go. I'm assuming South would also be safe. I haven't heard anything about Clearwater or Mountain.
Arlo Pankook	12/28/2011 08:16AM Let's weld a sculpture out of our snow shovels, that should do it.
walleye_hunter	12/28/2011 08:05AM quote fenwick4life: "Any updates on ice for lakes such as; north, mountain, rose, Clearwater , ect." All those lakes might have finally froze last night but the forecast for the end of this week/weekend looks nice. I would not trust those lakes by Jan 7th but I might have eaten more Christmas cookies than you.
The Great Outdoors	12/28/2011 07:52AM Nope, as the web cams show not much snow around Ely. Snow is predicted the next 4-5 days, but in occasional showers, or slight traces. Let's try this: If anyone has a good idea for an outdoor project that needs little to no snow when working on it, send it to me. I'll pick one of the suggestions, buy all equipment necessary to do the job, and announce a specific date to start! About an hour before I begin the project, go out and purchase a new snowmobile, snow blower, skis, snow shoes, etc, because I guarantee the Ely area will have the biggest blizzard since Halloween of '91!!!
snakecharmer	12/28/2011 06:29AM quote Arlo Pankook: "Is there any snow up the Gunflint? Ely?" Ely web cams.
jb in the wild	12/27/2011 08:18PM Mocha is at Gunflint Outfitters I'd guess about 20 miles from Rose. If the water is open on Gunflint I would imagine it's open on Rose. As far as snow didn't see much in Mocha's picture. JB
AndySG	12/27/2011 07:24PM Damn ocean warming is causing this. I suppose we'll have to live with it, just like our primitive ancestors did.
fenwick4life	12/27/2011 06:15PM Any updates on ice for lakes such as; north, mountain, rose, Clearwater , ect.
Arlo Pankook	12/27/2011 04:59PM Is there any snow up the Gunflint? Ely?
jb in the wild	12/27/2011 04:31PM Wind blew what ice was around the other day. Almost completely open according to Mocha. She was talking about a New Years paddle. JB
fenwick4life	12/27/2011 03:21PM Anybody know how the ice is on the border lakes off the gunflint? I hear gunflint isn't frozen over yet but it is often the last one to do so. Thinking about going up the first full weekend in January for a winter camp and fishing of course.
