Roads around the lake are lousy and temps have not been above freezing today. Probly refrozen since yesterday. We came through yesterday and 44 was ok and state road 82 was worse and 85 was horrible. Not sure what they look like today but I will assume lousy. Delo did have his carver out yesterday though. :cool: temps getting to 36 tmrw. I wouldn't venture in until noon or so.

I live 500yds from uglys and roads are lousy. Temps never got above freezing today so roads should be ****ty. I wouldn't dare pull anything out if here today, tmrw at earliest. Delo reporting back in to me shortly with conditions on his way home. I'll let you know present conditions.

Boomer, do you not listen? It would be ignorant to try and pull a boat out of there. Make sure you have insurance PRIOR to leaving Ugly's.

Masher: D should have left the boat in the slip and went out with us last night:-)

Yeah wait to see what tmrw brings as far as roads. Even if passable your boat will get all f'd up with road grime salt and sludge. I 44 was ok, about 10 miles away. Wait until tues or wed for trip back. Never seen that boat at uglys but one or more of us could have looked it over for you if you let us know.

I am in Tulsa and go to Afton every weekend during the summer. I would not attempt to drag a boat out of there right now if it were me and I haven't even been on those roads since the storm. I just know the lack of treatment and traffic they get.

Slowly melting today. Should get above freezing this afternoon. Sun is doing a good job melting the crap. Roads were still sh1tty this morning early. Should be better by tomorrow just in time for 3 more inches of crap.

I was in Tulsa Friday night. Does the state of Oklahoma own a snow plow?

That's not true. There is a plow but it is on OKC this year. Tulsa get's it next year.....:driving:

They made it back to Florida but without the boat. That was shipped down and actually arrived this week.

I'm sure Boomer35 can share more! I heard something about showing up in the test run wearing shorts:blush5: Falling in the near frozen lake:eek: Sounds like it was quite a road trip!
