I see some other chapters starting threads on guessing when first ice will be....today being 64 degrees doesn't seem like the right time to start. But I'll take a shot in the dark...I am hopeful for the first time in years that "maybe" we may be able to walk on water by Christmas Eve this year...maybe I'm just being too optimistic...any guesses?

You talking fishable ice or skim ice?

mistertwister · « **Reply #3 on:** Nov 19, 2016, 07:15 AM »

I was guessing fishable ice

mealworm · « **Reply #4 on:** Nov 20, 2016, 03:23 AM »

I have seen some skim ice on a few bodies of water already, fishable ice I'm gonna say someplace will be ready by 12/15 roll rite from hunting season to ice season.....O what a wonderful world it is lol

if only it was like Alaska they're already on ice

rgfixit · « **Reply #6 on:** Nov 22, 2016, 04:09 AM »

I have ice.......in my bourbon $:-\$

The bird bath did skim over though. Open water temp on Lake Ontario was 54 yesterday. Canandaigua was 55 a week ago when I was on it.

I struggled with putting the boat away this past Saturday.

The heavy snows you have will help lower your water temps,If this weather pattern holds you will be on ice in about 30 days

hardwater diehard · « **Reply #8 on:** Nov 22, 2016, 06:56 AM »

With the snow cover less radiant shore/land heat ...those SW shallow bays will lock up if the snow stays .

Down my way safe ice is around January 1st ..although a few times it can be found on December 25...but few..but do like your thinking

BigEarl · « **Reply #9 on:** Nov 25, 2016, 07:34 AM »

January 10th

EatenByLimestone · « **Reply #10 on:** Nov 25, 2016, 10:56 AM »

I'll go with January 15 on Schroon Lake.

hardwater diehard · « **Reply #11 on:** Nov 25, 2016, 01:18 PM »

They are predicting average or below average temperatures for December down my way...maybe a Christmas outing ...also predicting average temperatures for February ..so thats good for some March outings as well ...snowfall is predicted at or below average. 40s all week next week

northernnyice · « **Reply #12 on:** Nov 25, 2016, 05:47 PM »

Dec 23

TNT5859 · « **Reply #13 on:** Nov 25, 2016, 06:21 PM »

Soppose to be 40s and 50s all week next week out here in WNY. THEN looks to be cooling off. It can not come fast enough!!

luv2fish2 · « **Reply #14 on:** Nov 25, 2016, 07:08 PM »

a small lake by my house froze over sunday / monday almost half way geese were walking on it but it didn't last my guess is dec 18

HybridHunter · « **Reply #15 on:** Nov 25, 2016, 08:41 PM »

3 years ago I was on 4" of ice right now. This year, hoping by mid Dec.

northernnyice · « **Reply #16 on:** Nov 26, 2016, 05:52 PM »

Steady 30-40's for weeks in my forecast it's gonna be a while

Hoping for Christmas weekend, as long as the forecast doesn't drastically change.

fordman · « **Reply #20 on:** Nov 27, 2016, 06:29 PM »

I'll be on ice in 2 weeks.

northernnyice · « **Reply #21 on:** Nov 27, 2016, 09:41 PM »

Unlikely

I took a friend to a beaver Pond In Chenango country near Norwich NY yesterday, the pond is locked up with a 1/4 inch of skim ice if the weather cooperates it won't be long for fishible ice.

TeeBugg · « **Reply #23 on:** Nov 29, 2016, 01:37 PM »

christmas time is my vote

Captain1978 · « **Reply #24 on:** Nov 30, 2016, 01:39 PM »

New Years weekend

masoneddie · « **Reply #25 on:** Nov 30, 2016, 04:51 PM »

We've had some skim ice on small lakes here already...water temp is close, especially with the snow we had, just need the cold.
I'll go with Dec. 20th.

Nnyiceman26 · « **Reply #26 on:** Dec 02, 2016, 04:32 PM »

I'm guessing Dec 22

This is a cool graph for Lake Erie temps. It shows the High/Average/Low temps for every day of the year.
