Under the 4 inches of snow on the lake, the ice is about 16 inches thick.
We attached a dive camera to a long stick, set it to a 10 second delay, pressed the shutter release and plunged it down the hole. The water under the ice is as clear as crystal. The camera was also set to movie mode and lowered to the bottom and back. I'll post those movies on the front page later in the week.
In addition to skiing, a microwave ethernet bridge was installed resulting in a new Wi-Fi bubble in the northeastern corner with Art's old bar as its center. Huzzah! We are still deep in the season that can effortlessly crack water pipes and build lake ice, but there is a subtle feeling of seasonal change around Lake Lucerne. The air was less cold and the sunlight was warmer and longer lasting. On the way home, rather than turning off onto the snowline that is 64, we stayed on 32. The sugarbush off Hwy M just west of Suring started their maple syrup season. Instead of using traditional buckets, a tubing system was setup to collect sap. Last I checked, it will be 3 weeks until taps will be joined with trees in the local sugarbush.
-Nemo noted some green peeking from the snow on the NCC's 5th tee.
