I wish I was making syrup this year, I would actually get to try "sugar on snow" this year. We typically do not have that delicacy here in Kentucky. I sold my 3x8 to Lee Blythe in Auburn, KY and have enjoyed getting to know Lee and some of the other syrup makers in Kentucky. We have 5" of new powder snow in Central Kentucky, and loving the white stuff. We built snow forts and have gone sleigh riding all afternoon. The boys love it.
Went ice fishing at Kinzua Dam in NW Pennsylvania two weeks ago with my brother. Stayed at Mountain Laurel B&B in Bradford, PA. Caught a good mess of yellow perch, one 30" northern, a bunch of small northerns and a bunch of small walleyes. We fished out of Willow Bay and had a great time. Had not been ice fishing in almost 8 years, and looking forward to going again next year.
Trying to convince the wife that hanging ten buckets is not a bad idea this year.
