We had two mini-thaws right within short succession that thinned the ice just enough to make it too unstable to hold a fleet of cars.

Yeah, at any given time we've had up to 90 cars out on the ice. And not evenly dispersed either -- more like right next to each other like a parking lot.

Strange morning, weather wise. Very sunny this morning, then overcast skies developed quickly, followed by a mist that turned to very light snow. Now its starting to get sunny again. This whole system seemed to have come out of nowhere. Bizarre.

This is a weird one... I'm not sure how much we're going to get. A guy I work with who swears by the NWS's models, says it shifting south... he bet me a buck we'll get 2 inches...

The thaw out was nice, but I figured we'd have at least one more of these bad boys...
