yeah no kidding, that should be all it takes to kick the season off, I just went through my old posts from last year and the first time I got out last year was december 18th. There was 2 inches of ice where I was in southern maine... I don't think that will happen this year.

Don't feel bad, I don't think we will see it up here either. Everyone around me thinks I've lost my mind because I'm praying for cold weather

It's supposed to be 8 deg F up here tonight, that should lock up the lakes.

northernmaine · « **Reply #10 on:** Dec 10, 2011, 02:38 PM »

I'm going up to check on the progress, or lack of it tomorrow, what I wouldn't give to see the lake skimmed over.

The Rusty Crab · « **Reply #11 on:** Dec 10, 2011, 07:48 PM »

I dd some investigations and a few small ponds and lakes have a skim on them as of Saturday morning.

you might be surprised, things are ready to freeze, As long as the wind stays down there should be ice on all the early spots by the end of next week.

I found the same exact thing. If you could get off shore the ice was fine

Heres a question that will start a argument everytime, does wind chill effect ice makeing?

bee · « **Reply #19 on:** Dec 18, 2011, 10:48 AM »

It does when there is open water as it needs calm winds to set up. After it is frozen I say no.

IMHO No. Wind chill has nothing to do with actual temperature. If its 20F and the wind is 20MPH, its STILL 20F on the thermometer.

Quote

Wind chill (often popularly called the wind chill factor) is the felt air temperature on exposed skin due to wind. The wind chill temperature is always lower than the air temperature, and the windchill is undefined at the higher temps (above 10 °C [50 °F]). Humidity on the skin can result in a higher felt air temperature, which is accurately termed the heat index (or humidex), and is used instead.

-2 in winslow right now That has to help!!!!!!!!!

Portland3 · « **Reply #23 on:** Dec 19, 2011, 07:36 AM »

I was told wind chill is what the temp feels like to our skin and it does net affect the actual temp on the thermometer.

The Rusty Crab · « **Reply #24 on:** Dec 19, 2011, 08:01 PM »

So does the water still move with the wind under the ice? I think on a windy day it does but thats just some of my experience.
