Things appear to be shaping up for a day sail at Moosehead on Saturday. The snow that followed the rain earlier today fell on to the wet ice and mostly wet out. So now we have a nice grey surface. Temps are dropping below freezing tonight, tomorrow and Friday night. Chances are good that the plate will firm up nicely.

We don’t know if the warm spell had any impact on the structural integrity of the ice, or what sort of hazzards there might be. Last weekend there was 16” at the Birches, but things change quickly this time of year.

Be that as it may, the wind will be great, out of the SE, and clouds will keep the sun from doing much damage. The Birches is open for lunch and dinner.

Pending any late breaking bad news, let’s call it ON for Saturday, The Birches, Moosehead Lake, Maine.

Last season, taking a break
