Photos and descriptions of endless black ice are filtering in from the west. The NA plate continues to grow and the snow that dotted the region last night missed it. Of course one never knows, but the scene is bleak enough around here to inspire a six hour drive. Full sun, respectable temps and nice winds are forecast there for most of the week.

Launching at 1 Dock Rd, Plattsburgh, somewhere in the boat yard there. Doesn’t look great for trailers; bring friends and dollies to get boats onto the ice. There are four people planning to go so far, but there’s plenty of ice so come get a piece of it!

This was sent by the Nordic skating group and says it all.
