4/25/14 – No update yesterday because we were too busy dealing with a fairly intense snowstorm (sigh). I’m a snow lover, but this is getting ridiculous – beautiful, but ridiculous. – Bill

7.5″ of wet, sticky snow fell overnight, framing the gang as they head down to the lake for the daily ice measurement.

27″ of ice on Sawbill Lake this morning. The canoe landing is seen in the background.
