Saw on the news the past couple of days that the low temp got down below freezing at Saranac Lake.

I spent the day hiking Sunday and found some light color changes in the leaves :)

Yep. I'm starting to think about hitting the hard water! I'm thinking about getting a shelter now.
-
I cant wait for the hard water, hopfully its a nice, long,and cold winter. I'm thinking about building a shanty but I don't know where to put it.
-
the leaves are falling on the tree across the street. time to get the gear ready
-
im ready and looking forward to it
-
After the last few days of hot weather I am really looking forward to fall hunting/fising and first ice. :tipup:
Started purchasing new gear already.
-
Got word from the 'Dacks, as of this evening the leaves are almost at peak in Blue Mountain Lake. Getting closer!
Hope we have some good early ice this year (mid-December, at least!) ... need to make up for lost time after last year.
-
Lets hope for a good ice season!
Going up past north bay this w.e. on the montreal river. The weather has been in the 30's for the last week in the PM.

Ask for an Icegator! its sweet

Yea....I know. I'm startin' to get the "itch" myself. Two weeks ago Saturday, the Wife and I stopped at a yard sale and I bought a box of ice fishing gear....there were 7 polar tip-ups (one was a windlass) two other off-brand polar type tip-ups, a 5" Mora hand auger that looked like it might have drilled a few holes, a host of other goodies......ice scoops, creepers, depth weights, some jigs ( including a half dozen Swedish pimples) and only a few of the tip-ups even had line on them. The rest looked like they had never been used. Now, the lady had a sign on the box that said $40.00 TAKE IT ALL!!!!. I offered her $30.00 and she said...What the heck...nobody else is gonna buy this crap this time of year....IT'S YOURS!!! I probably got well over a hundred bucks worth of stuff and even though I didn't need any of it...I just couldn't pass it up..... ;D WK

With the weather today in Beacon ( NY ) it is hard to imagine fall weather getting here, let alone winter weather. It is already in the 80's on the way to 90 today. My kids are in the pool and the AC is running. Way too early to start predicting or hoping for any ice making weather.
-
Maybe this will help jog your memory.....WK

I just hope that this is the last gasp of summer and some cold weather will move in for the rest of the year.

Skim ice has formed on Schroon Lake in recent days and some of the ponds up north have up to four inches of the hard stuff..........oh crap, I just woke up.

-

Yeah well you can have your snow once all the lakes lock up and get a good 3-6 inches of beautiful hard black ice.
-
That forecast seems good :tipup: I do have a question though since I'm not an expert on lakes freezing over...Are freezing temps at night and above freezing during the day enough to form ice ??? Lets say its 12 hours above and 12 hours below freezing is that enough to ice ???
-
always hoping for less than 32 degrees.

i would think it depends on how far below and above freezing you are talking. probably need to have it below freezing the whole time 'cause if it's just a skim then there's not much of a buffer.
-
Also depends greatly on the temp of the lake and if there is any wind. If the lake is 45 there is no way you are going to create ice even if the temp is 20.
-
30,24,24,26 degrees for the lows in glen falls area
-
All these nice cold temps are great but lets just hope it's still cold when it counts for some good ice making. I was sick last year when it was 70 in January and the only ice near my house was in my freezer.

People should start posting water temps in addition to weather forecasts. :tipup:
-
Just looked outside and ground is covered with snow!
-
My inlaws (who also live in Almond) just called to tell me the same thing.
-
Snow at my house last night. Unfortunately ground was to warm for it to stick. :P
-
Snowing outside right now! :D
-
Snowing off and on in Otsego County!! Water temps in the 40s in Goodyear Lake.
-
woke up to 1 inch of snow on the ground and 28 degrees. Its a coming folks!
-
30F @ 2200 hrs and 3/4" fresh snow so far to deer hunt in morn.
-
back at home mom said there was skim ice in the shallow weeds in cook pond this past morning. if we get really, really lucky then i may be on for thanksgiving break :tipup: :tipup: :tipup: cann't wait for some flags and spinners ;D
-
I woke up to 18 this morning at deer camp. But alas no snow and no deer I gotta hang one before the ice comes. I really dont want to hang my tail between my legs and shoot one in the southern zone. But what the hell im a meat hunter not a horn hunter. Nothing can beat taking an Adirondack buck though.
-
Smaller ponds around me are frozen over and have been for a few days now. ;D
-
Think they will be fishable by the weekend? ???
-
I wouldn't get your hopes up.
-
Think they will be fishable by the weekend? ???
all ponds that were frozen are now devoid of ice again. :'(
-
There is a cold front barreling in right now. ;D
-
Finally might get some fishable ice in the dacks :tipup: with the accuweather.com 15 day forcasted temps for Saranac. Looking good for ice by the end of the month. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
-

-
I saw all the smaller pond around me were froze over this morning, and noticed some skim ice on one bigger lake. :o We are getting so close I can smell it. ;D
