Oh boy Rutt, getting me hopeful, down here in the farmlands we sniffed freezing two weekends ago, not even enough to kill my garden. Looks like i'll be traveling north to see some hardwater before 2022 ends.

Where is “down here?”

Steidyj · « **Reply #3 on:** Nov 07, 2022, 02:11 PM »

Down in Lebanon myself, and then my family has a place on the edge of Lehigh County. Next week we will have a string of 23-24 degree nights, but then warm back up later in the week yall might have some fishable hardwater up north.

RuttNutt · « **Reply #4 on:** Nov 08, 2022, 10:28 AM »

Oh OK- grew up in Eastern Lebanon County.

Nah, I’m in Pike Co. and we usually need several nights in the teens and daytime not much above freezing (with calm winds) to get 2-3” of good ice. I don’t see that until mid-Dec at the earliest.

Fingers crossed!

well, well, well. Look at all you early risers! I'm off for most of the month of December so I'm declaring right now that there will be 4" of clear ice on or before December 10th. That's all I'm saying!

usually sometime between Thanksgiving and Valentines day. Give or take.

MumbleSEED · « **Reply #21 on:** Nov 21, 2022, 02:50 PM »

I love the early chatter here. I wouldn't mind having some good ice 1st of the new year but more than likely going to be that 2nd or 3rd week in January. Hope I'm wrong!

With how cold it was the last 2 weeks in western pa, I wouldn't be shocked if some crazy mofo got on a small pond somewhere in pa

I'm in. Would be awesome if there was fishable ice between the holidays. Already taking the days off, so that would be ideal. Now if Marsh Creek froze that would be a miracle. I live about 10 minutes from there.

There was someone fishing on a couple inches in the Poconos yesterday morning. I saw the video but will not post it and support such behavior.
