Lake Pulaski, Buffalo, MN – Ice Report:

The lake is 5-10% clear of snow, balance has 2-4” hard drifts, underlying ice is Rough, i.e., 36 Grit Rough… without some grooming, (no system in place yet), this is not an option. -

Local non-sailors report the snow substantially melted in yesterday’s 55 deg F temps, and is smoother that he thought it would be, & will send pics this afternoon, they are willing to plow/groom a "short course" if needed, & we come and drink in their bar! Details tomorrow!

Good luck with Lake Shetek

Thinking along the same lines, I did 8 miles on Lake Shetek February 16. I generally like rough ice but that was brutal. Without the drifts, maybe a 24 grit. A lake cabin resident was nice enough to come out and tow me and my broken equiptment back to the car.
