Well, it's almost time to start the second annual Ice Melt contest.

Here is a link to last years opening thread.

Last week, the pond skimmed over with ice, so I pulled last years victim back out of the water, so
it would be ready to park on the pond, when the ice gets thick enough. I lost the hood down there
somewhere, so I may have to find something to strap on there.

We won't officially start this contest, until the tractor gets out on the ice. I'll update on that.
Hey, there's a contest right there. "When does he have enough guts to go out on the ice?" LOL

Here are pics of last years victim being pulled back out.

I'm guessing that you're not on your local municipalities conservation commission.

It was very late last year. I think it was around the 10th of Jan. Fall was abnormally mild.
In a normal year, the ice should be ready in a week or so, which it might be this year.
I won't take it out till there is at least 6-8 inches, just in case we get a 2 or 3 day thaw.
Don't want to lose it before we even start.
