With the forcasted lows in the single #'s up around Saranac lake does anyone think we will be on the ice by Dec,1st in the dacks?
3" in a week is really pushing it. Last year I was on Lake Colby in a boat fishing salmon in mid December.
It sure would be nice but right now it's 48 f. I run the Northern Challenge Ice Fishing derby here in Tupper lake and it sure would make me feel a whole lot better and a lot less work answering the phone if we got some early ice.
It always seams like accuweather's forcasted lows are 10 degrees lower than what the weather channel says. Not sure why this is. Seams like the average between the 2 sites is usually about right. I hope Accuweather is right this time, because if they are, there might be safe ice to be found by Tuesday... I'm not holding my breath, but I'll be looking.
Just went for a drive. Bad news is there is little to no ice anywhere. Good news, all this snow we got will not hurt things.
Snow in Tupper Lake is about 1-2" temps holding to lows in the mid 20's and highs in the lower 30's. Bad news is that next Wednesday is supposed to be really warm.
