In NW Iowa in th great lakes region most of the ice is still on the lake's, where the creek's and slough's run in it is starting to open up. I keep praying for the snow geese to show up, but then again I know they will fly right over if there is'nt open water for them. Kinda like wishing in one hand and $hittting in the other you usaully only end up with one thing. :laughing:
