There's a maybe snowstorm on Sunday so my goal is to get everything out by then, today is Wednesday, with no ice, no snow, lots of sunshine between today and Sunday so everything is good to go.

Measured the water temperature yesterday in three different tests while working on the dock take-out, and was very surprised to see a 44-degree water temp which is very warm. Plan to remeasure today using a different thermometer. I was expecting more like a 36-degree reading so maybe the thermometer is broken or something?

Anyway, ice always forms along the shore and between the islands and in certain areas before the wide open areas of water freeze-over and its easy to see if there is any ice regardless the true or false warm 44-degree temp reading?

Time will tell ...... ?
