Theo:
You're right on only about 10-miles east from the lake. The other factor is that my ponds are near the base of a 30-foot dune that was the former margin of glacial Lake Michigan about 10,000 years ago. We get a tremendous amount of groundwater recharge from the hill. We have to be careful with the ice because it melts very quickly from the bottom.
Maximum ice thickness this year was about 10-inches and it was never good hard ice.
So Theo, are the Bucks going to do it this time?
