This was the same weather pattern that set up a few years ago. I believe in 2002. The east had ice while the upper mid west was still waiting for the lakes to freeze and we fished well into early Arpril. That was the year I measured 20+ inches, which is alot of ice for central PA.

I hope that's true for us in the Northeast, would love to be out before xmas. I would feel bad for our comrades in the "above normal" area, nothing more depressing that a 40 degree day in january.

I hope it true. I got my Trap guide out of the shed yesterday
and checked the canvas . Everything was ok, the moth balls
and irish spring soap kept the critters away. Now all I have to
do is wait for the ice.

AWESOME!!! I think it was 2002 when we had the great ice on Erie all the way into March. I've saved my vacation up for the month of November to hunt hard. Hopefully the tags will be filled by the time the hardwater hits so there won't be any decisions to make......bowhunt or hit the ice.

Sharpen the Mora. Sharpen the Jiffy. Rig tip-up leaders. Test fly the lantern and heater. Lay in a supply of propane. Well better get busy

Yeah 2oo2 all over...we were on 18" of ice, shirtless, in central NY on a 70 degree day in early March. Best sunburn I've ever had. Let's do it again.

Water Wolf · « **Reply #12 on:** Oct 28, 2005, 06:48 PM »

I hear ya clam, I went icefishing last march and ended up with a nasty sunburn to the face. I was morning from spot to spot on the lake so I also got windburn on top of it. The combination was sure painfull and actually caused the tip of my nose and ears to swell.

I hear ya Stumper...That kinda sucks for us in the Western states. $:-\$ Oh well, what can ya do....I was planning on building a portable shack this year, I wonder if I can fit it with some pontoons.

I love that prediction. Hopefully I'll make it out by mid December.

Icenutter · « **Reply #16 on:** Oct 31, 2005, 07:35 AM »

Well they may have missed the boat on this one. I looked at the 15 day forecast for central PA and we are to have highs in the 50's and 60's and lows in the forties through November 13th. This sucks.

Iceshanty · « **Reply #17 on:** Oct 31, 2005, 09:45 AM »

It just keeps getting worse

Icenutter · « **Reply #18 on:** Oct 31, 2005, 10:20 AM »

It is getting worse. I usually will check the extended forecast for points North and West to see if any strong cold fronts from Canada are heading towards PA. Even International Falls, MN has forecasted highs in the 40's and 50's the next couple weeks.

Time Running Out, Winter Is Coming!
Thursday, November 03, 2005 2:40 PM EDT More News

If you live in a location that has been having warm weather lately, get ready for a whopper of a change. A big shift in the jet stream is not far down the road. Whether that will take place ten, fifteen or twenty days from now is not clear, but it will happen. When it does, a large section of the country will be thrust into the deep freeze. That will come as quite a shock, especially to those that have been enjoying 60-, 70- and even 80-degree weather lately. On the graphics in front of you, the jet stream is portrayed as a huge dam. Currently, the flow is primarily from west to east across North America which is containing arctic air well to the north. That is good and bad. Currently, much of the United States is enjoying above-normal temperatures. However, the longer the air sits up north, the colder it gets, and when it comes down we are in for a shock. The current thinking by Joe *****i, the AccuWeather.com long range forecasting expert, is that the dam is going to break during mid- or late November, and a large amount of arctic air will rush southward. This will not only make it much colder, it will set the stage for possible lake effect snow and even a large scale snow event. The AccuWeather.com Winter Storm Center will keep you posted.

I am jealous. We are in the warmer than usual temps this winter. Last winter was the same. Except last year late nov-early dec was by far the coldest ever so we experienced some good ice. 03-04 winter was awesome though...FREEZING cold. Coldest in many years. 2 feet of ice in lakes right by my house that usually have at most 5". We already have ice forming on our high country lakes though, mesa lake anyway. Island is lagging a bit from last year. Hopefully we can all icefish this year!
