Yikes! Got an email from USA Hockey that the ice on the pond measures about 16" right now. Granted, I am not an expert on pond ice, but 2-3 feet, like we've had in previous trips, would make me feel better. They've mandated that no cars will be allowed on the lake this year. I guess they don't want a repeat of the slowly sinking Explorer we witnessed back in '09.
The bad news? The predicted highs in Eagle River for tomorrow and Monday are 38 and 34. The good news? Starting Tuesday, the highs are supposed to drop back into the 20's, then fall to the teens on Friday and Saturday. Now that sounds better - for ice conditions, at least. Looks like we might need to pack some extra "Hot Toes" for the skates. At those temps, I wonder if we can double dog dare Mac into sticking his tongue on a flagpole somewhere...
