39* here. Bad news...calling for a fair amount of snow today and tomorrow with low temps not getting much below 20* in the next several days. Good news...no ice on the lakes yet (at least in this area) so the snow can't ruin what isn't there. Just have to be patient...long range is still calling for cold weather in Dec. and Jan. Fingers crossed.

19 when I left for work this morning and below normal temps around us for the rest of the week.  Our pond opened back up a little with the rain and wind but did retain some ice.

Reports are looking favorable for the next week or so. Minimum snow and below freezing.

Yessir...if weather holds true we "might" find some fishable ice next weekend on some of the early freezing lakes. But as always... ***USE EXTREME CAUTION***

19 here this morning and a wintery mix last night made the truck look like a glazed donut and froze the garage door to the floor.  The end of next week is not looking very good, if the rain stays away or is just enough to clear the snow and maintains 20's for over night lows we should maintain current ice conditions.

My thoughts too. Was out on a couple of lakes the past couple days...2-4" of good black ice. Rain is going to be cold and will freeze at night. And cold enough sub-surface to continue making ice. Heard it thumping all the while I was out. Disclaimer...I'm the eternal optimist.  ;)

35° did some checking this am. Shore ice is feeling the effects of this moderate weather.

Be cautious, one fatality in Indiana last week, rescue in the UP the week before that.  These things happen for early and late ice and one time is too often.

Had 19 here this am, 29 now ice is there but nobody attempting, just not enough , around new years looks good though. But that’s a long way off to change forecast !!

32 now was down to 26 last nite, there are lakes that are still capped in the area but not safe in my opinion !
