how much ice can a pond gain in one night with 8 degrees?

[trying to catch a biggie]

hmm i say .25 of a inch

[Porter]

I'd say more than that - I've seen shallow ponds on a calm, cold night with temps below 10 or 5 degrees gain .75 - 1" - depends on the pond as some have current/springs etc.

I'd like to hear other people's experiences here....

Here is an ice formation chart. it all depends on temp and current ice thickness.

I dont know for sure but i will say on nights where it gets single digits here the river/stream down the street gets skim ice in a few slow moving areas. That should tell you alot...

It depends on the layer on top too.  If the snow can act as an insulator.

My motto is.. If it is not safe the night that you go to bed, it is not safe the morning that you wake up

no snow clear ice i have seen over an inch form in a night, and i've also seen heavy snow cause a loss.

doesn't matter, most north west water is safe now

Talk to me when you weigh #240 without any gear

[capt.shay]

I chop my traps out each day or some times after two days so I get to see ice form often.  On a good cold night I have measured 2" of ice in the 24 hour period since I last checked and cleared my trap holes.  Not scientific, just anecdotal.

Ive seen the wind open up a hole at quaddick that was 3 inches thick the day beforewith temps way below freezing,just from the friction.
