Temp vs Rate of freeze?
« on: Dec 20, 2017, 05:05 PM »
How much does the temperature really affect the rate of freeze?

Are you going to see much difference between 10F and -10F (-12c to -23c)?

I would think it would make more ice at -10 degrees.

The thicker the ice the slower the freeze. Wind can have an impact as well.
 There was a chart floating around here at one time.

Agreed! From some quick off the cuff calculations, it looks like I'll be right on track for 6+ inches on Tuesday. Gives me a little more confidence (still going to spud the whole way) for my first trip out.

It's all speculation.  If you don't fall thru it's thick enough- ;)  Simple-

I'll just stick to the 4' spots to start... At least that way the kid can jump in and push me back up on the ice!!  ;D
