2010 North Lake Winter Party
The time has come again to make plans for the winter party at Parkers Smoke House near Ashland. We have the 27th of February reserved for our get together. We will have social hour from 6 to 7 with food to be served at 7.
The menu will be the same as last year with BBQ chicken and rib tips accompanied by potatoes and salad. The meal also includes one non-alcohol drink. We will have access to the full cash bar.
The cost will be $19 per person (just one dollar more than last year as Parkers has had a slight fee increase) if paid by February 20. Please mail checks to Chris Haag, 9733 Andre Circle, Lincoln, NE, 68526. As before please keep these separate from official lake association payments to avoid confusion.
Please spread the word. Make sure to make plans with your neighbors to come. We all look forward to getting together and catching up!

The Platte River (to the west of our lake)
On January 11, 2010 the thickness of the ice in the main channel on the river side of lot 66 measured 22 inches. The Lincoln Journal Star on January 9th reported that officials are concerned a sudden thaw in late February or early March will melt the snow and the ensuing runoff will swell the river and break up the ice too quickly, creating the potential for massive jams. http://journalstar.com/news/local/article_550ea7ca-fd8d-11de-80bf-001cc4c002e0.html
The link below presents general, common-sense precautionary measures that should be followed when you plan to be on a floating freshwater ice cover. Since the article cannot cover every ice condition you may encounter, your judgment is critical. Remember: Only you are responsible for your own safety!
