2017 Western Regional Regatta Called ON

Wisconsin has ice all over the place!

Madison Wi is the primary location. Could be Kegonsa or Monona. They have smoothed over some today and going to rain a bit more tonight. Above freezing temps for another 24 hours, followed by cold and wind. Ice will thicken on both lakes. No snow in the forecast with moderating temps by the weekend should lead to great ice.

We also have a good report of huge grade 7 ice on Winnebago at Fond du Lac. Sailed yesterday and today by Bob Cummins. They are a little closer to possible snow and mixed overnight, but could be plan B. Pete Johns is checking Senachwine again as another option.
Get your gear ready along with a copy of your insurance. Stay tuned for final call by Wednesday evening.
Should you have better ice to report, my cell is 612-868-2949.
