                      I took a ride around Sullivan Co. today... It doesn't look good for this weekend .
                      I went to lake  huntington 2 small patches of ice rest is open water ...
                      I went to superior 3/4 open water  the rest is slush ice...
                      I went to white lake & no ice at all...
                      I drove by lake louise marie looks like frozen slush ...
                      I drove by wawanasink lake   frozen up by the island   rest pertty much open water...
                      I went to masten lake it is frozen up with slush ice... all the lakes I went to ice is unsafe ...
                      I could not even stand on the ice by shore at any lake ...no good   I am starting to get depressed ...
Hell of a report..thanks dewey

tomorrow is wind and snow and not enough ice, Dewey thanks for the honest update. I can wait for safe ice and better weather conditions.. The great thing about visiting this site is getting good reports that saves us the time and ga$$ trying to find the early ice. Tomorrow, I am hanging low and will wait for solid ice reports. happy new year dewey and everyone here ;D

I know I will be out again on Tuesday, with some of the lakes I reported on today being safe enough for people other than me ( I fished on 2.25" this morning on one lake )    supposed to stay cold, and the little bit of snow that we are getting now won't hurt anything.....my best lakes won't be ready until probably next weekend though...

               Thanks for the info Dewey-open water might be a good thing right now with this snow we're expecting,
We should be good next week (supposed to get cold)

                          maybe I will take a ride this afternoon & check a few spots ...
                          the snow on the ice is going to make harder for ice to thicken up...
                          thanks topfer7694 for the offer we have some friends comming over that day... :) :)

This wind is a good thing... will blow all the snow off of the ice that isn't already slush. I should be walking on water on the 3rd or 4th in Orange County!

I think if this cold blast sticks around long enough without too much thaw hrs during the day, the lower state waters will lock up and have safe ice by next weekend.

.        I was there 3 days ago. There was a wide open part in front of the middle of the park. I think it still needs some time. But I'm going there tomorrow to check it out. Hopefully it freezes all soon!
