So after -40c a day sitting on a stool, on ice, with your rod dangling into a cold lake must be feel quite warm🙃

Is this on a massive frozen lake with lots of people Vic?

[Vic Patterson]

Oh! I don't go fishing now the kids are gone, just go and look, Two local lakes, most regulars have tents or huts, even caravans, parked all winter on the ice. No floors in the tents or huts, seats, heaters etc,  beer coolers not necessary! drive your truck or car anywhere you think the fish might bight.

When the kids were kids we had snowmobiles,  we'd  travel through mountains, find a lake and drill hole and fish half the day. No computers or video games in the days.

Family day February 15th, families go for the day, no fishing license needed, lots of prizes for sizes, age groups etc, but Covid rules kind of dampened it a bit. Photo is regular day not Family day.

About -20 here until last week then up to -10 but more snow. It's been hard work this week. We also have a big problem with drifting living on a hill where the wind swirls the snow around quite a lot. The one flat roof on the premises began to sag so it was one on the roof throwing it down and one shovelling at ground level. My shoulders were beggared after a couple of hours as it was too wet and heavy for the blower. It's definitely getting a new roof this summer - of the pointed variety!
