We're gonna have a high of about 10 today. It was warmest at 12:01am yesterday (Saturday). The temperature slowly dropped. As I type this at 8:30am this morning (Sunday) it's a beautiful -8 and ice is forming. That means ice fishing is finally here! I don't think tomorrow's jump up to 30 will bother the ice any. Of course, it's gonna be dang cold with the 20+ MPH winds we're expecting.
There should be fishable ice now! Woooo! It was 2½ to 3 inches on Friday... a little thin for my comfort.

Woke up this am to -5 degrees in the NW part of lower Mi. I immediately got in the truck, went to get the paper and some Joe and proceeded to Crookled lake to watch the water continue to freeze. This time next week it could be walkable.

on my way to the midland mall for some last minute christmass chaos i noticed that ross lake was completley covered with a thin sheet of ice . there were footprints and spud marks on the ice , i bet the guy was just testing the thickness and decided it wasen't safe yet .
sanford lake along u.s. 10 had 15 to 25 feet of shore ice and the rest of the lake was open water , the same thing for ross lake on highway 30 except it was swarming with thousands of geese in the open water beside the bridge .
ice will be walkable in another week i'm betting and it will be time to head to the petco pet store for some wax worms . why pay $2.50 or better for a dozen of waxeys when you can buy them in bulk for a lot cheeper (lizard food ).

[cool][cool][cool][cool]Early ice for us in Ny as well checked out the local lakes on Sat. morning they were capped over then and now with this deep freeze it will do nothing but make some great ice. Just got to keep the wind down, we've been having a lot of wind all year don't like to chase the gear across the ice.

Hey BigFreeze, welcome to BFT!
You're exactly right. More cold, more ice, longer ice fishing season. Can't wait!
Currently here in the Twin Cities it's about 7°... warmest it's been for 2 days. The high through Friday isn't supposed to get higher than the teens.
