Seeing as it will be in the single numbers Saturday morning, maybe the ice will be safe. Me, I'll be near the stove. Good luck to all

[size 2]DEP ANNUAL FAMILY ICE FISHING DERBY CANCELLED January 30

CANCELLED DUE TO POOR ICE CONDITIONS. The several inches of rain that just fell impacted ice cover, with open water appearing along the shore line as lake level rose, floating the ice up and away from shore.

If ice conditions improve, ice fishing will be one of the scheduled activities at the 2010 No Child Left Inside-Winter Festival at Burr Pond State Park. visit the DEP web site (www.ct.gov/dep) and click on the No Child Left Inside icon for more information.
