The End ( of 2013 )
December 24th through 30th   
The condition of Knott Lane is a reflection of the year so far.  There's ice under the packed snow cover.  Surprisingly, traction is not so bad.
The first half of Winter is essentially over.  It's been a cold one.  Usually, there's a fuzzy patch of weather as Winter and Fall battle for an early start or a late stay.  Not this year.  My guess is that a stray shot at the start of deer season plugged Fall and that was that.  It's been a cold one.
Eleven inches of very solid ice is supporting 6.5 inches of somewhat dry snow.
New blades on the auger makes for a 30 second ice hole, huzzah!
Sure, it's been a cold one but it's almost half way over and the days are a gettin' longer.  The lake has become a canvas for snowmobiles to lay down strokes of packed snow.  It looks a little like a drunken zen garden with snow instead of sand.  The 23rd annual Lake Lucerne Bottle Rocket War is less than 4 weeks away.  The owner of Uncle Sam's Fireworks, just off Lineville Road outside of Green Bay (Go Pack!), have become our first sponsors with a few free goggles for eye protection and free party poppers for something else.  Fort construction should start sooner rather than later.
