I have about 18 inches of ice on my pond and this morning it was 15 degrees below zero (thirty below with the wind chill). We have way below normal snowfall. In fact we set a record for the latest recorded one inch snowfall this year.

I checked my trout last weekend. Tried to catch some by ice fishing using minnows but I couldn't entice them to bite. We dropped a camera down and they appear to be doing fine.

This has been a strange winter here, but if you guys have any extra warmth please send it this way.
