Re: STILL FROZEN
The ice had begun to break-up over the weekend, but the recent new artic blast, has refrozen the bay!<br /><br />__________________________________________________<br /><br />gaugeguy,<br /><br />Maybe you are willing to cut holes in your lake, but the bay is frozen salt water, which doesn't like holes in it.<br /><br />The ice can become extremly weak if holes are into it, and I wouldn't even consider cutting the ice around here.<br /><br />My luck, someone would step into the hole and try to sue me!!!!<br /><br />__________________________________________________<br /><br />LadyFish,<br /><br />I'm sure you must remember them cold winters in NY!<br /><br />I think you really need to come back and experience it first hand, just so that you'll never forget.<br /><br />__________________________________________________<br /><br />Ross J,<br /><br />I guess you don't get frozen in the winter down there in NZ.<br /><br />It doesn't normally get this cold that the bay would freeze over like it did this year.<br /><br />Although this is the second year in a row that the bay has froze, but these 2 years are exeptions, as the bay doesn't normally freeze solid like this.<br /><br />It takes twice as long for salt water to freeze than fresh water does, so it is pretty rare.<br /><br />Then I guess that you have never seen boats covered like that for winter storage?<br /><br />If you don't cover them like this, the interiors would be ruined within a couple of years.<br /><br />Plus, it is real important to keep the water out of the boat during the winter due to freezing.<br /><br />Frozen water INSIDE the boat can tear it apart from the inside, out!!<br /><br />Not a pretty sight.<br /><br />__________________________________________________<br /><br /> I'm surprised that you guys didn't ask me why poles were knocked over, or what that funny looking box on the dock, was for!!
