lol :roflmao:

Punxatawney Phil will be mia tomorrow...I really did laugh out loud this evening when the local Binghamton  Weatherman, Mick D. ( Fox 40) said during his weather segment at 6 pm today, that he was headed down to Pennsy tonight to kidnap the woodchuck , returning to Binghamton tomorrow, then dispatching it, stuffing and baking it for  Super Bowl Snacks Sunday... he said"It tastes like chicken".. the guy is unreal some evenings.
Mick also said "if any of you out there have any good recipe's, write them down on a 20 dollar bill , and send them to the station in care of me"...he's a riot some nights.

Could you guy's imagine Wayne Mahar or Jim Teske saying that stuff while doing the Syracuse weather?.
My boots on some ice... A line down a hole...Some fish on the screen... And a flag in the air !......Winter is Good !!

This snow isn't helping but as much as everyone tries to analyze the way she freezes sometimes she surprises you. I just saw a old post on Facebook of the legion poker run in 2013.  I fished the beach that a.m..  went and rode on dirt.  Next weekend we went to quinte so that would of been the sixth or so.  Main lake was still a no go.   The following weekend I was out deep with the sled.   So that put it around the 15th or so.  I think Bruce said that year he was on the 16th.  The next few weeks after that rocked.  I keep saying we're going to have a repeat.  Winter is far from over but it does suck we missed most of January.

We just need 2 nights near zero and no snow or wind. It's going to be windy for the next several days, then a warm up. Maybe it will get cold enough at the end of next week.

I'm optimistic as well S10. I'm holding my breath to see what the webcam shows this morning, each day this week there's been just a little more ice. If it locks up today/tomorrow, I think your estimate will be right on. And I'll be there to race to the middle!  ;D

Unfortunately it's the nature of the beast.  No one has respect for others anymore or worry about consequences.  It's sad.

24 degrees and snowing hard here, 4" of new snow 1/4 mile visibility. I can see some wet spots don't know if they will refreeze with this snow. Won't see this guy out there till we get sub zero.

Just A bunch of snow slush on top right now, A stiff wind would blow it off, lots of open water in the middle. We just got 8 inches of snow in Cleveland, not looking good at all to get out soon.

Wiiliams Beach about 5-6" Snow as fishhooksul said. East from Williams Beach has open water from Wantry to Maple Bay looks like. No idea how the ice is near shore at Williams. I don't recommend it. Other lakes have ice south and north. Time for a drive.
Get Out And Enjoy!

It was 17* this morning at my house. It was all open water East of Constantia. It's going to be way too windy this weekend to make ice.

With a winter like this if we get good ice next year it should be great fishing since so many fish are in the lake and not the freezer. Also for the guys that fish for them in the summer too.

 Yeah, did the boat rebuild last spring, missed all the early open water. She's good to go this year, other than installing the stereo the kids bought for me. We'll be jamming!

It looked like the lake was mostly froze over at sunset. Still a big section of open water off of Taft. It would be nice if the snow stayed away.

Man after getting the email newsletter from the OLA ,Def some more bad news
Cornell researchers are saying by the end of the century  Oneida Lake will likely be warmer by 6 degrees and this will affect
the oxygen levels in the deeper parts not good for cold water fish and such,but mainly effecting ice formation as well,
Not good for our younger generations to look forward too,still have my fingers crossed to walk out and jig up a couple walleye this yr
