5 lb. bag of it in the freezer.  PA has nearly lost it's winter over the last two years.

Couldn't have said it better myself. I think I jinxed it by going out and buying a pop up shelter this year

Same here. I know that don't make you feel better. It is what it is.

9 inches on lake Simcoe near Georgina island. Should be closer to 30 inches in a normal winter.

There's a good 8-10 inches in the Champlain islands. More on nearly all of VT's inland lakes and ponds. Looks like we'll be on ice for a while.

I measured 12" on my favorite lake here in NW Wisconsin on Sunday.  I had a guy at the landing tell me "there was a solid 16" out there..."  I drove out my ATV, and he took his truck.  When we got out on the lake we measured the ice and found that it was really only 12" and 2 of those 12" were frozen slush...  the dude looked at his truck and started sweating a little!

Still only a 5 pound bag of ice here in the freezer.  Western PA is not looking good for safe ice.  The crazy thing is once it's here...might not stay long!

For those of you who don't have ice, I hope you're able to get out in the boat. I'd be going loopy if I couldn't do either.

20 - 24" of ice on the big lakes here.

Why does a thread from February 2017 about the amount of ice in an area get restarted today. It is better to start a new thread so nobody misreads the information.

Zip, zilch, nada! I’m entered in an ice-fishing perch derby, and unless I drive at least 2 hours, I won’t be on any ice. This bites, and I don’t mean the fish!

4-6", Good stuff. The few days of rain and warmups have been quickly fixed by nights in the 20's. Heading out after work :)

A short drive and I can get to 4-6 inches on larger lakes and 10+ on smaller lakes/ponds, especially ones with some elevation.
