First ICE?

(1/2) > >>

Heartland:
Anyone care to take a guess when First Ice (meaning SAFE ICE) will occur in our region??  ???

Iceman Cometh:
Unfortunately, (and I'm just guessing here), but the way it's looking probably at least Christmas or after. I keep groaning to my wife we ain't gonna get no ice till January!

Lonzo:
Iceman don't pick on your wife, just have her cross her fingers and toes with ya ;D  Got my hopes up but I think you may be right

Tight lines if we get there  :o

 Usually up on the Fox Chain it's about xmas before we have safe ice. I have seen it earlier but then it goes away and then by the first of the year we start getting ice again. Even when we do have safe ice there may be spots that you can't get to. Please just be safe on forst and all ice  you never know for sure where a soft spot may be.

sometime between 12/15-20, in northern illinois.  Maybe that is wishful thinking but I think we may have a chance.  Last year the ice came early didn't it?  I think it only lasted a week or two then went away and came back.
