Heard we're suppose to get a bunch of snow in Western PA. That'll ruin Arthur and Pymie

Haven't seen where we're supposed to get a lot of snow. Cold temps, windy, and a little bit of snow....ill take it.

Mknott · « **Reply #3 on:** Jan 14, 2019, 08:21 PM »

channel 2 and channel 4 news were saying possible excessive amounts of snow. Hopefully just in the pittsburgh area

Think positive! Can't take much more disappointment. I've got out twice this year so far.

They're predicting a lot of snow for a Saturday afternoon into Sunday turning to rain here in North East PA. Thursday into Friday 1 to 3 in also. Not good for the ice. IWatch wnep-tv

I just seen on 69 news . You guys could get about 2 Foot up there. That really stinks

Not looking to good, forecast from Accu Weather for this Wednesday thru Friday

And this Friday thru Sunday, hard to make good ice with a foot plus of snow sitting on top of it.

Oh what a difference a day makes with the forecast. Now I see the snowstorm you were talking about. I'm still going with the power of positivity and hoping it will be less than predicted. New rod and jigs will be here this week, and I'm ready to break them in.

Im hoping that it stays mostly south to or atleast a mix of sleet and rain cause its suppose to get even colder after this weekend in nepa..Just now getting nice safe black ice here and dont need tons of snow on it already.

Hey I noticed that your new on here and I don’t know if you’re new to icefishing as well but in a lot of places the ice is still not safe yet so if we get a lot of snow the snow will insulate it causing ice not to form. You need to be very careful out there because this is considered new ice even though it’s late January.Now if we had 8 to 10 inches of ice followed by a major snowstorm then or only worry Or pain would be the drag.

I checked a little private spot in Lawrence County today. I only got 3 inches of ice at most about 15 yards off the shoreline. Last week this place had 1.5 inches to 2 inches of ice. The ice was mostly clear but had about 1/2 inch of cloudy ice with lots of slush. If we get tons of snow... things will not be shaping up well in Western PA.

Stay safe out there guys and hope the weather men continue to be terrible at predicting weather.

Achell55 · « **Reply #14 on:** Jan 18, 2019, 11:44 PM »

Was all hopeful seeing the temp drop then I saw the snow..

Mr. Charlie · « **Reply #15 on:** Jan 20, 2019, 05:07 AM »

In southern Luzerne we seem to have gotten less than two inches.

ALL RAIN TILL ABOUT 530 AM IN GREENSBURG THANK GOD NOW COMES THE SNOW. BUT COLD TEMPS IN THE FORECAST KEEP YOUR FINGERS CROSSED.

Freytown · « **Reply #18 on:** Jan 20, 2019, 06:48 AM »

Daleville Pa got about 4-5in but it's raining now & snow is compressing. Pretty much a "dud" so FT is happy.

crappieman2380 · « **Reply #19 on:** Jan 20, 2019, 07:06 AM »

Friggin weatherman finally had to be right. No dud where I'm at in crawford county. Got around 10" since I got home yesterday. That's gonna put a hurt on the 4" of good ice we had.

Mknott · « **Reply #20 on:** Jan 20, 2019, 07:32 AM »

Only got 3 inches of snow in Pittsburgh. How much did u guys get in Butler around Lake Arthur? Wonder of the high winds kept some snow off of the lake???

clayboy · « **Reply #21 on:** Jan 20, 2019, 09:03 AM »

6" new castle area lots of blown snow light airy snow so if it blows good might knock of some from the ice

1moslab · « **Reply #22 on:** Jan 20, 2019, 09:30 AM »

there is almost no snow on Arthur

Mknott · « **Reply #23 on:** Jan 20, 2019, 11:32 AM »

Sooo do u think we'll be fishing on Arthur next week?!

clayboy · « **Reply #24 on:** Jan 20, 2019, 12:35 PM »

Back end of front might dump another pile of snow. Hope not. But it is blowing so maybe it keeps the snow off the ice🙏🏻So

We lucked out big time in Butler . Only a few inches of snow and temps are getting into the single digits after dark . Perfect ice building weather ! ! !

Spider1 · « **Reply #27 on:** Jan 21, 2019, 05:20 AM »

Here by Promisedland we got 4" of snow that got rained on for a few hours, turned to slush and froze solid. -5° right now at 6am. I think the ice will be just fine!

RuttNutt · « **Reply #28 on:** Jan 21, 2019, 07:17 AM »

Yep- I’m about 20 miles away and not as much snow on our local lake this morning than I expected. Looks like areas of bare ice- maybe 50% covered and what snow is there does not look deep. If my daughters swim meet gets cancelled I will be out checking/fishing later!
