Ha! Just stopped to see Jimmy at LogCabins the other day - he is still squirting water out his Pipe from his dip last winter.

Happy Thanksgiving folks and hope for some cold weather soon.

What/where do you have booked at Black Lake? Should be good timing.

Bring on the ice I am ready deer season is a grind I am ready for a change

reeleyz · « **Reply #681 on:** Dec 05, 2017, 11:28 AM »

Temps are looking colder for a while. Also it looks like the snow will be staying north for a while too. We shall see...

The latest episode of In Depth Outdoors discusses ice safety. It was nice to see them highlight the importance of using a spud along with picks and a float suit.

I am welcoming the cold temps.....good for making ice and hanging deer its crunch time....lets keep this thread on the front page

I agree. Late muzzle loading. Then hopefully right to ice fishing if it stays cold in Hamilton county. I`m ready...

crazyrider546 · « **Reply #684 on:** Dec 07, 2017, 01:06 AM »

Yup muzzleloader one day and hopefully ice fishing the next

filetandrelease · « **Reply #685 on:** Dec 07, 2017, 06:10 AM »

I would like to see Lake Ontario cool down some more before we get a good sheet , nothing worse than big snow after a good start of ice making 😡

Expect snow, not ice on the Great Lakes this winter

12/7 - Over the past two winters, the Great Lakes have had a below-average ice cover. And that’s expected to continue this year. One of ice climatologist Jia Wang’s biggest jobs is the annual ice cover prediction for the Great Lakes. He’s with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration office in Michigan, which tracks ice cover throughout the winter. This year, he expects the five lakes to have a 26 percent ice cover. That’s down from the historical average of 55 percent.

And Wang says that means a warmer, La Nina winter, with more lake effect snow. Cold winds can pick up moisture as they pass over the open water, dumping snow when they hit land.

Lake Erie (the shallowest Great Lake) and Lake Superior (the northernmost) are projected to get the most ice cover this year – 48 percent and 31 percent, respectively.

Wang cautions that his recent predictions have had mixed results. In 2016, his prediction was pretty close. But last winter he missed badly. NOAA predicted a 55 percent ice cover for the Great Lakes – the reality was more like 20 percent.

Well we shall see if he’s on his game a lot depends on the wind direction , Last year the major snows stayed north Of me only got 1 drop over 2’
I’m not one for long range forecasts , I take it as it comes

I don't like Wang already
