I fished last year, just not all the places I would have liked. If u are waiting for 12" ice, u could be waiting a while

I recently saw the Famer's Almanac is calling for a cold and snowy winter for the Northeastern part of the U.S.  and if this holds true the problem could be that we don't get good ice before we get a lot of snow.  Snow slows down the formation of ice so I'm hoping we get good ice then the snow.  After last years pathetic season and the lousy season before that we're due for a good ice season.

Yes, we will get ice.  Already forming in select locations.  I fished all season in CT last year.  It wasn't pathetic and there was safe ice out there...
If you can't play nice, get off the ice!

Weather service says could be snowier than normal, but a bit warmer than normals. Sounds like another year like last year. :'(

Sure hope so.  I'm up in Woodstock and the neighbors farm pond has a skin most mornings.  Taking it as encouragement that there will be some ice in the new year.  Last few years have been hitting Pontanipo in New Hampshire and lakes in Western New York.  Will be my first year getting out in Woodstock area.

I'm with Ed. The long range looks pretty good, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for around New Years. I was on ice last week, in northern Maine while hunting. It was pretty much on schedule, the last week or so of November.

Just got back from over in that area.  When I got to the hudson valley around 7 near albany it was 48.  It was wet at 1500ft this evening.
