How much snow did you get?


Recommended Posts

Looks like 10 inches of new snow in our yard from yesterday until right now. NWS says 2-4 more could fall this morning, but the radar is pretty clear and it's not snowing now. We'll see.

Boo for people like me without snowblowers! frown.gif

Yeah! for snowmobilers. grin.gif

Boo! for ice. frown.gif

Yeah! for photographers! grin.gif

OK Mr. Shmarty Pants Chunkytrout! You know the size of my driveway and parking area in front for the vehicles. Just spent the last three hours shoveling all the snow off those places, including the heavy packed stuff the city so considerately pushed in.

Keep a close eye on the scanner. If you hear an ambulance call to West Chandler, that'll be me. grin.gifgrin.gifgrin.gif

Now I have to decide whether I have the energy to go shoot pictures. I could have fun on the sled but I never had a chance to get it registered before the weekend hit.

That would be me. 15 minutes of monkeying around with the honda and I was blowing snow all over the place. Yes it's time for libation followed by a nap.

I just finished up as well.......12 ins. in Duluth, plus the 3-4 ft. drift behind my fiances truck......of course she had to go to work this morning grin.gif Cheffery and I convoyed from Two Harbors last night at midnight after we did the NSM Christmas party.....gotta say, that was the worst drive I may have ever done.......having a "beverage", waiting for the plow to come by and ruin my hard work. grin.gif

This Southerner got about 4 inches. Amazing we didn't get hit as hard as the weather guy made out like. smirk.gif

Neighbor wants me to buy his sled so he was going to ride around me while I was snowblowing to rub it in. Too bad, no gas! smile.gif

I have granny's 90th b-day to go to this afternoon and he left for the ice fishing show, again with a smile. So had to go whip a couple doughnuts around his parked sled with the wheeler! grin.gifgrin.gif

Very true shiner, in my 5 years of trekking home late at night from Grand Superior that was by far the worst I had seen it. Good thing is that if we had lost it and slid to the left we never would have even hit the ditch with the size of the drift in the passing lane.

Time to relax after watching the town plow come down my driveway smile.gif(costs $25 per year for a 700'er) and watch the vikes light up detroit!

8" out my way BTW.

Just be glad you live where the seasons change!

Here in Irving (Texas) it's about 80 degrees today.

Miserable. I'd much rather be shoveling snow with a toothbrush! grin.gif

This snow sucks. So much for good ice on the bay this year. frown.gif

Cheffrey I was thinking about you guys up in Silver Bay when all this crap was coming down. Just getting off fish lake was a bugger. I thought poor Ripstick was going to stroke out. grin.gif

I think I got about a foot or so in Souptown. My back is still throbbing.

Got about 8" here in South Range. Put the plow on the old artic cat and she plowed it NO problem. Even plowed out the neighbor.

Putting some window film on the breezeway windows now, then will watch some football. The early game sucked.

Shoot, Chunky, I forgot all about the Honda. mad.gif

Sheesh, if I'd have remembered I just would have left the snow and gone shooting and then borrowed the blower from you tomorrow while you were at work. grin.gifgrin.gifgrin.gif

We got about 6" between the cities and St. Cloud. I bought a plow to be installed on my Jeep next week, so that should ensure we get no more snow.

I was thinking about 8-9" out this way too Wade. I got my place blown out and had to go up town to snow blow my parents place. I didn't even think about swinging bye your place Northlander, sorry dude smirk.gif. Your right the bay ice looks horrible. Maybe the wind will bust it up or it will sink. Better off starting new now.

I'm still thinking about getting a atv after xmas but maybe a snowmobile would be a better idea now for fishing.

Ya Im torn on what to get. Most years a wheeler would work and a plow on that will make snow removel easier. Now if we get into a snowy couple years a sled is the only way to go. If this snow doesnt settle on fish lake wheelers may struggle a bit.

Roanoke!!? That's where I go bowhunting! smile.gif

That's the one part of this state that even remotely reminds me of home. I'm baiting up some ornery hogs out there right now...a little strawberry jello powder does wonders! smile.gif

I got at least 12" and drifts up to 30".

Enough snow to sled but with no hard base the track digs down to the ground.

At least 16" on the ground by Sunday morning in rural Hovland. We were out on 6" of ice Saturday morning before the storm.

      Nope not me.  May want to go nextdoor and ask around?

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st
