A Recent Blast of Arctic Air Has Iced Over Area Creeks......1/21/2016

After launching on a feeder creek off the Pasquotank River I had to chop through a 1/4 mile of skim ice to get to open water..........This area was clear this past Monday..........Had a dusting of snow last night ahead of the big weekend storm..........

El Nino' will return next week........60s both days to send January out like a lamb next weekend........Yeah Carl I have been shut down by iced over launches.........but yesterday the dew point was single digits and the wind tide had the water pushed out so the ramp was high and dry........

wow... what happened to El nino?

good point there Carl ... icy ramps have to be a nightmare

one thing tho  Jeffery;; watch out at the boat ramps !!  around my area; its not un-common to see guys ; who tried to stop backing up; and their trucks went underwater !  several very steep boat ramps get real icy; makes for very nervous loading or un loading boats !!

Hey Steve I hear you.......curiosity got the best of me yesterday as many years we never even get skim ice around here.......not pictured.......a guy in a little aluminum boat got in behind me to follow me out.........he was still out when I returned to the launch so I hope he got back through o.k.

Hope we dodge all the winter precipitation.......looks like three inches of rain here and I'll take that so we can bounce back quicker......
