I was hoping to be on Indiana ice on December 5th since I was on December 6th last year, and had a hefty goal of driving north on Thanksgiving weekend and getting on ice someplace in Michigan.  With all of this warm weather, I'm losing the faith.

I don't thnik I can drive due north out of the country and find any ice in the next couple of weeks.  Accuweather.com keeps teasing me, changing up the forcast almost daily, pushing those cold temps back a day at a time.  MAYBE December 12th in the northern LP of Michigan, but I'm not holding my breath.  

Local Weatherman just said we have averaged 5º above normal so far in November.  :(
