I don't know much about RI or NJ, but being costal, I'm not that surprised. Did MD or IN ever have good ice? I can't say I ever would have thought WV ever had an ice season. It doesn't get that high of elevation either so it can't be like Colorado which is just as warm but still gets ice if you go high enough. Indiana was always hit and miss as far as I can remember. I think the biggest cases can be made in northern Illinois, and Iowa. It definitely seems they don't get ice like they used to.

On a good note, I thought I needed new winter boots. Now I don't need new boots at least for this year.

I'm in central IL, right on the IN line, and it just depends year to year... extremely variable seasons. I fish both states, mostly IL for ice, but more in IN from the boat than IL. I've been down here 17 years now... I've seen 18" of ice, and a year or two no ice 🤷‍♂️

Double digit thickness is more the exception than the rule now... most winters we max out at 8-10" around here lately. We had 13" a few years ago on some local ponds. Last year we had 7-8" in late Dec, then no ice at all in January. It's definitely trending worse as a whole the past 10-ish years, though.

Still looking better next week per NOAA and all the major weather outlets, so still hopeful for mid-month ice.

Single digit nights coming up. Local lake has a mix of open too 3” near the dam. I’m ready!🤪

Looks like low temps in northern Wyoming will be ranging from minus 5 to minus 18 Thursday through Monday.

Local forecast for this weekend into next week keeps looking better every day.

Absolute reset happening here in NH today. Lake I live on just skimmed last night too. But going to rain HARD tonight. And wind. Might be able to fish way up north this weekend.

SnoHam13 · « **Reply #98 on:** Jan 09, 2024, 07:32 PM »

lows in the single didgets to -0-
that will make ice in a hurry

zcm_82 · « **Reply #99 on:** Jan 10, 2024, 07:31 AM »

Other than the pesky dump of snow forecast Friday, I'm still feeling pretty good.

Iceshanty · « **Reply #100 on:** Jan 10, 2024, 02:29 PM »

Yep! Going below zero here at night after saturday, first good snap of the season.

This site is really cool. Hit play and watch the cold plunge south. Hope everyone catches some of this freeze.

Looking real solid here... we may just skirt the edge of that snow coming, which would be a plus. I'll be doing some scouting Sunday afternoon and hitting it Monday if it looks good.

Iceshanty · « **Reply #102 on:** Jan 11, 2024, 05:04 PM »

Yes sir. In the 6 to 10 inch snow band here. Hopefully deepfreeze sticks around a little while And some of the bigger water can lock up!

DR.SPECKLER · « **Reply #103 on:** Jan 11, 2024, 05:25 PM »

Storm is headed right for my area ..14" plus.always happens when it finally gets cold.

Tikkaman · « **Reply #104 on:** Jan 11, 2024, 05:58 PM »

Some cold temps finally coming for MN, after 4-7” of snow of course!

SnoHam13 · « **Reply #105 on:** Jan 11, 2024, 06:42 PM »

as long as the ice holds up to the 55-65 mph wind gust it should keep the snow off of it

6-12'' with areas up to 24'' of snow and a winter storm warning to boot

zcm_82 · « **Reply #106 on:** Jan 12, 2024, 06:23 AM »

We did NOT skirt the snow... gotten over an inch in the last hour. Huge, wet, half dollar size flakes coming down since about 5am.

Old Goat · « **Reply #107 on:** Jan 12, 2024, 08:46 AM »

BALMY THIS MORNING...

Iceshanty · « **Reply #109 on:** Jan 12, 2024, 01:09 PM »

Raging blizzard just getting going. They predicted power outages. 50 mile an hour gusts. The way the snow is coming down I bet we get more than 10 inches.

zcm_82 · « **Reply #110 on:** Jan 12, 2024, 01:24 PM »

Been pouring rain a couple hours now, most of the snow has melted off.

Even the 2 week forecast pasted below is pathetic for late January by Adirondacks standards. This is for a location in the central Adirondacks. The lows used to be -25 or lower for a week straight this time of year when I was a kid, but at least all of the smaller lakes and isolated bays of the bigger lakes will start having safe ice a week from now.

Unfortunately here in Maine we are still waiting on ice. To much Rain & Wind, along with Flooding keeps taking out any ice that we might get

Its nasty here and the rough stuff has yet to hit. I should be watching the sabres play a home game @ 4, opted not to drive in the city and deal with the mess. Winds ripping right now! 50 MPH easy!
Have a fresh bottle of bourbon and nothing to do all day!

Sounds like a plan !!!!! I miss living out there sometimes. It was only for a short period of time in the late 80's, but Buffalo is a great city if you are not a wimp !!!!! GO BILLS !!!!!

BUCKSKI · « **Reply #117 on:** Jan 13, 2024, 03:29 PM »

Visibility GONE! Good storm for sure, not lots of snow. Wind is terrible
Glad I choose not to go the the game.
Having some soup and watching some football!

Now we're getting somewhere... wish the wind would lay down a but, though. The next few days should really make some ice around here.
