Coventry Lake froze solid sometime in mid-December, the earliest I've ever seen. Quite often it is at least partially open well into January. On March 29 it is still 100% frozen. I've lived overlooking the lake for 43 years and I have never seen ANY ice on it by the first of April. Safe to say, that record will be broken this year. Don Morgan, Coventry, Ct mntncougar@aol.com

Don, Get out the ice auger and the tip-ups.
