Good late morning, this is Burt with your Racine County ice update recorded on February the 19th 2010 at 11:32 a.m. Winds are light out of the WNW at 6 mph with the outside air temperature at a nice 34 degrees under very sunny skies at Racine County beaches. Still very dangerous ice conditions prevail off of all Racine County beaches and surfing is seriously not advise until all the ice has thawed out at all of Racine County beaches. A beautiful day in store for today with plenty of sunshine and winds will stay light out of the west for today and our outside air temperatures will hang in the mid 30's. This afternoon and going into this evening we will see increasing clouds with a very slight chance of some light snow showers or some flurries and we will see a low around 24 degrees. Winds for tonight will be on the calm side and the sun will set at 5:28 p.m. The sunrise was this morning at 6:43 a.m and the water surface temperatures off of Racine County beaches on Lake Michigan are still at a chilly 36 degrees. Well not much change at all as seen in the last picture that was taken last Monday of the ice situation off of Racine County beaches. Hang in there and lets hope this nice weather keeps coming so we can see a good thaw for the Racine area. It still looks like many of weeks to come before we get back to normal and it safe to surf again off of Racine County beaches. Have a great weekend and check for Monday's No Salt Ice update for Racine County beaches. Thanks for the cool picture from this weeks surf session Rusty Joe Medrow. We scored again with some fun waves up to about the stomach to a few bigger set waves here and there threw  the session and ice was not too bad but there were some good ice floes coming threw for time to time.  First picture is of me, Jim M and Chris B checking the situation out then another picture of me and Chris in the lineup.
