Title: Won't be long
Post by: eriksat1 on Oct 08, 2019, 02:08 PM

Calling for our 1st frost Friday night 29°f, then maybe 2" of snow Saturday. Fri. Sat. Sun. Mon. all low temps below freezing. Hoping for a early winter here in nw Wisconsin. Last year we had some fishable ice by Thanksgiving.

Christmas would be fine with me. I will probably get my shack and gear out of the garage attic in a week or so. December is usually full of deer hunting and family Christmas’s. Christmas Eve is soon enough for me. Definitely won’t be long!

15 deg F tomorrow night.  Already had our first snow down in the valley, but this time it will stick.

My earliest start was Dec 3 on four inches of ice.  Would be cool to beat that, but anything in December is good for me.  My deer hunt is Nov 1-14 so plenty to do in the meantime.

Down to 17 Thurday night and rain/snow mixed. That is the lower elevations. It has already snowed several times in the mountains.

As much as I would like to believe differently don’t see it happening here before Xmas hope I am wrong!

I hope it won't be too long, but our water temps here in central Pennsylvania are still in the mid to upper 60's.  So I think we'll be waiting quite a while yet.

It has been snowing on and off here since yesterday. But nothing really to speak of sticking on the ground so far here around Hayward WI. 35°f right now.
