But----- it is minus 32.9C outside-- sunny and very cold! ---The kids were going to come out and drag their ice shack off our front lawn and tow it down the lake--but---with this cold , they might change their mind.
When they get it onto the lake, they light a fire in it for warmth-(There is a stove in it)--and cut a hole in the ice, and fish-----It is usually quite warm even outside the shack when the sun is out--- There are already several shacks on the ice already.--I would never ever want to do that--sit on an icey lake and fish-----
- Wc went to town yesterday-- "Town" is only about 9 miles south of us! ------I really wanted to head in there to-day but --- there is so much Covid in town and around the area that it's probably best to stay home for now-- Even our hospital has covid cases with the staff-
So, for now, I'll get offa here-- Lord love a Duck! I hope it warms up-
OMG! I hope it warms up a bit at least. Stay safe and warm, and enjoy the weekend doing everything you enjoy.
ReplyDeleteBrrr! Your -32.9 C translates to -27.2 F. Brrrr on any scale!
ReplyDeleteStay safe and warm up there. I'm not of a mind to go ice fishing.
Fishing at any time doesn't interest me, especially in this weather. Stay safe and warm and enjoy your day.
ReplyDeleteWe are very cold today and are expected a foot of snow on Sunday night into Monday . . .all stocked up so I don't have to go out. Even have a nice crockpot of veggie soup going and some bread rising
ReplyDeleteLove the bright blue ice shack....sounds like fun for those that enjoy fishing....after all what other outside activity can you enjoy on such a freezing cold day?! Enjoy your weekend, Lynda❤️

We are suppose to get snow this weekend...I hope we do not get a lot.
ReplyDeleteHave a great Saturday
One would hope, after fishing, they could just wrap and freeze! Do they take snacks down to the shack, and carry all that back with them?
ReplyDeleteBrrr!
ReplyDeleteThat'd be way too cold for this sissy! LOL
ReplyDeleteI agree w/you . . . best to stay put for now and be safe.
Have a good weekend!
hugs

Brrr! Glad I live in the south. Of course, we have a winter storm warning for all day tomorrow. We're supposed to get snow and ice with a high of 32F. Hoping for more snow, less ice. More likely to have power issues with ice.
ReplyDeleteWay too cold! It's bad enough here (TO) and it's better than that. Supposed to get a bunch of snow starting tomorrow night but they can't decide how much. Don't think it's going up as far as you - hopefully. I could do that ice fishing on the lake. Rather be inside by the fire with hot chocolate! Poor Lopez!
ReplyDeleteYour temperatures are extreme. Its 30F here in St.Louis. We got 2 inches of snow...plenty for me.
ReplyDeleteIce fishing sure doesn't sound like my cup of tea.
Stay in, stay warm and safe. Blessings in your day.
Oh my, that is cold! Here I'm thinking we have cold out here in the low 40's. Stay warm inside and safe.
ReplyDeleteWow, that is cold. Ice fishing does not interest me...my luck, the ice
ReplyDeletewould crack, and zip-there I'd go in the water and not only freeze but
drowned. I will do my fishing from the bank where all I have to do is
watch out for snakes. (this may explain why I have not been fishing in years)
I remember being an ice fishing widow!! Best of luck to those who try!!
ReplyDeleteI hope all is well with you and himself today. Ice fishing is just one of the many happy memories your kids and grandkids have. Your family has many good memories of life by the lake.
ReplyDeleteIt's snowing like crazy in Maryland tonight. We have been entertained by watching bluejays eat the peanuts we put out for them. Take care and keep safe.

Spending long periods of time out in the cold does not appeal to me. At all. I watch the youtube videos of this lady in Denmark who goes "winterbathing." She and her friends (and a lot of other folks, apparently) swim all year round, even swimming when the ice is all around them in the water!!!
ReplyDeleteHope your kids catch some good fish and cook it up for you.
I would never ever go ice fishing on a lake. I would be terrified that the ice would crack no matter how thick it was. I am a chicken!
ReplyDeleteI said it before in one of your blogs about the boys going to put the ice shack out on the lake. I think all the guys and gals that go out on the ice to fish have lost several brain cells, of course I might be the one with no brains! (((HUGS)))
