new to board

I'm new to this board as well; my first post after lurking about for a short time. As a frequent diver at Lake Wazee and a resident of Black River Falls, I've been checking the ice situation quite a bit lately. The lake iced over when we had the cold weather January 3-5. I walked out on it after talking with some ice fisherman who were sitting in their truck watching their tip-ups. Said they drilled through 2-3 inches of ice to set their tip-ups. Needless to say, I didn't stand out on the ice very long. By now, I'm sure, it's improved a little more. Wazee Sports is running an ice dive weekend, Feb. 7-8. I believe Keith is teaching the ice dive course (check with him at Wazee Sports for sure), plus its an annual event for training with the Jackson County Dive Unit (I'm the training officer), and anybody else that's wants to ice dive with all the proper equipment. Refreshments and hot cider provided for a small fee out on the ice.

Its a good time if the weather is decent.
