Things aren't looking too good for the next 15 days according to Accuweather. :( :( :(  Starting to think Holman may be out of the question this year.  Boy I hope they are just pulling our legs.

I'm only seeing 2-3 days in the next 10 where its not going below freezing at night and 1 of em the low is 33...as long as it drops below freezing at night the slop on top will refreeze and the ice will still be good...

I'm worried cuz I know this weekend might be my last shot of the season on the river but I'm not worried about the lakes

I just checked the 15 day again.  It looks better than it did at last evening.  Tonight when I check it I will be depressed again.  When I said it was not looking good, I seen two days of 50 degrees and rain.  No where in sight now.  At least as of 0515.  It will change though.  I put to much in to these long rangers.  I want a month of ice on Holman like last year.  It was not quite a month for the whole lake but it was mighty close.  Guess we will wait and see.

If you take the Accu out of Accuweather that sums up the quality of their 15 day weather guess.

In all honesty I put very little faith in the cold weather predictions of Accuweather!

I wouldn't get too worried just yet.  As others have mentioned above we now have a solid covering on many of the lakes we like to fish.  As long as night time temps stay at or below freezing we will be in good shape.  Warmer days = melt off of the snow on top...followed by freezing nights = additional ice added to the top of the main pack.  I'm not going to comment on day time temps going too high as I don't care to jinx the re-beginning of our already shortened ice season...

Get out and catch fish as best as possible...for as long as possible...and enjoy what ice we have already been given  ;)
