Arghhhhh!!!

It's coming though....Hudson Bay is neatly frozen over, ice continues its march south....

Instead of ice marching south, I wish it would sprint, or at the very least, jog.  High temps in the 60's for this weekend.

Boy I hope your right about being on the ice in January,with the pan fish series scheduled for mid January I'm getting a little anxious

[slabslayer]

Tell me about it. I was working outside today in a t shirt, in December! Need some ice to shut this concrete pouring down and start fishing!

Nice link and good read downthehole!

Great link Andy. I read one article that said an El Nino would cause the temps to only be one or two degrees warmer than normal but the precipitation would be less than normal. Hope the temps drop and we get good ice.

[snowcone]

yep el nino .....keeping the temps up there....but its ohio stay tuned 

[Downthehole]

I never thought I would be hoping for Arctic Blasts and Nor'easters!

 We're definitely not going to make the typical date of Christmas for fishable ice.

I know what you mean Bruce. Used to always look forward to getting on the ice on Christmas. Many years that was the first day the ice was thick enough to walk on inland lakes. Hasn't been that way for many years, unfortunately.

No ice this year. Time to get the boat back out.

[slabslayer]

I think it'll come, just not till the end of January. Last time we had an El Nino I wasn't on any ice til the last weekend of January, but then the entire month of February only one day was the high above freezing. Hope that's how it goes this year since I saw 40's thru mid January in the long term.
