We were at Fay's at about 2 PM today. The strong west wind has pushed the Smith Cove ice sheet to the narrow east end of the cove so that the ice met shore on both sides. Driving up Varney Point Road and looking down, we did not notice and breaks in the ice sheet. While the wind might break it up and blow it out today, that looks doubtful for today.
The Eastern has been winterized and is ready to go, thanks Jeff. But I would say we have less than 10% chance of getting out of the cove tomorrow.
