I think, unless we get some SERIOUS snow, people are going to be driving pickups out on Burntside for opener. There was a solid foot of ice on Shag today, and only an inch of snow or less on the ice, and Bside only froze over a couple days after Shag did.
With so little snow cover, we’re making ice 24/7 even when lows are in the single digits and highs in the 20s, and we’re cooling down again the next several days.
Af course, opener is nearly a month away, and a lot of snow can fall in a month. I’m actually hoping we get enough snow to make truck travel harder before opener. Cuts down on the traffic.
When was the last time anyone needed an auger extension on Burntside?

I've been waiting quite some time for 360 SI...Problem is, they made this for a boat...and not for ease of use on ice... I do think you could rig this perfectly in a wheel house, and maybe even to a 4-wheeler, but not for a portable ice fisherman. I'm hoping a condensed version comes out in t [...] - New ice toys?
