I know it's supposed to be cold but we're supposed to have a lot of wind over here with it. Won't that just offset the cold lol.

I doubt the wind will stop the lakes from freezing more when it is 52 deg below freezing ;)

I'm talkin' the Gorge...where there's still open water and nasty pressure ridges with open water. No new ice will be formed there right?? I know where there is already ice there will be more. I'm not quite THAT dumb LOL.

I am sure the places with ice will grow bigger but not sure if this cold snap will be long enough for "everything" to freeze.

Cold, what cold?  Rock Springs high was -6 today and the low tonight is forecast  at -22 trying for a new record. Good news is the gorge will freeze up again.

-36 in Centenial right now. I wish this would kill some pine beetles, but I think it has to stay cold for a while. I hope so anyway.

Nice chart.   At the bottom in the red color, it assumes the potential of "fish schools"...........not where I fish.
