When Will We Open?

When will spring start?  Over the last 5 years, we've averaged March 21 for the first mowing of greens.  I don't see that happening this year.  We are still snow covered and frost is deeper than in the past.  Reports from the lake are 13 inches.
 
 
#16 fairway still has some ice cover.  We pumped for several days to remove much of the water.  This is the area we may lose some turf.  This has happened many times since I've been at Lansing and it survived.  The longer the warm up, the more I will be concerned.


 
A couple of weeks ago we had a warm day that melted off much of the snow cover.  Jose and I shoveled a path to the lake on #18 to help move the run off.
