finally some ice making weather!!
« on: Nov 21, 2007, 11:40 AM »
ice conditions have generally been poor so far this winter due to heavy snowfall, but it finally felt cold last night got own to -5 F and 250 miles east of here where we go pike fishing got down to -24 F. should help the ice along nicely. might get out on some of the bigger lakes sooner than i thought.

Its snowing here in central Iowa and is acutally sticking to the roads and grass.  Pretty windy out of the north and is around 30 degrees but with the wind chill now down to 15 degrees.  Sure beats the 70 degrees we had on Monday!!!! Come on ice

Now are we talking fahrenheit or centigrade up there in Canada?

Here in Palisade it is 18 degrees this a.m.,just to the north at URL it's 10 degrees.
It will not be long,maybe by next weekend.

Got down to about 16F last night and the little pond below the house is frozen.  Don't know how much ice.  If we don't get wind to stir things up the freeze up should come soon.

teens and 20's during thanksgiving week here in vermont, but today up to 40  >:( >:(
Every night this week is forecast for below freezing, though  ;D ;D
noticed sloughs and backwaters/small ponds iced up during deer season--better than the last 3 years
hope to be on the ice here before january

The employment of effort, hard work, time, and energy put in locating fish will offend noone.

Canadian cold front to hit tomorrow and last for at least the remainder of the week.  Some higher elevation lakes were fishable this past weekend.  Hoping maybe to get out this coming weekend.  That would be early though.  The last couple years commenced a week or so into December.  Of course, I'm a wimp when it comes to early and especially late ice.  I want some serious ice thickness under my big ass.
