Regatta Watch: 2025 Northwest Postponed to Jan 24-26

Via Northwest Ice Yachting Association Secretary/Treasurer Steve Schalk:

The 2025 Northwestern Ice Yachting Association Race Committee has postponed one week to January 24th, 25th and 26th. The likely site will be on Lake Winnebago at the best possible of several locations.

The morning check by Andy Gratton found the snow conditions ok for most but not DNs. (Styrofoam snow) The forecast eliminates Sunday due to low temperatures and the Friday wind and temperature forecasts show a possible softening of the snow , but a likely blow-out of excessive wind gusts.

The forecast is looking good for multiple options on January 24th. The next NIYA Update is Sunday January 19th after 7 pm.
