Via Nite Commodore Chad Rechcygl:

We have regatta ice at Geneva, Green, Pewaukee and Madison. Lakes north of Green lake are not ready yet unfortunately. We are eyeing a storm that can bring some rain or a few inches of snow. We will know what lakes are affected in 24hrs. The temps look favorable for the rest of the week to bring us our regatta. Keep your trailers ready and your runners sharp. We’ll give you final call Wednesday night 9pm.

Due to temps in the 60s, rain, thunderstorms high winds and temps above freezing at night, we unfortunately cannot call on Nite Nationals for this weekend. We have hopes that Mother Nature’s Zamboni will clear off the snow on our more northern lakes and bring us something beautiful for the weekend of March 11-13. We will give you an update Sunday (March 6th) night by 9pm.
