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.
Me too! Just have to wait it out....January we'll be on the ice...

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!

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.

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.

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.

El Nino is a d bag! We'll definitely have the whole month of February and hopefully the whole month of January to walk on water! Cross your fingers!

I like the optimism. We've been spoiled the last two years. Dock tournies are fun, but should be on ice in January.

Really getting tired of waiting for cold temps to get here and make ice.The sooner it gets here, the better I'll like it.

Aught to make the first safe ice prediction a bit more interesting.

Agreed. I haven't winterized mine yet. With temps in the 60s this weekend looks like I did the right thing. I'm smelling a crappie trip Sunday.

We had 27F in Powell, OH last night.....first sign of cold weather we've had. It will be a while before we get anything to sustain a freeze. I think mid-late January is a good estimate...

If we don't have ice by the mid January, I'm headed to Pa for a lil winter camping, backpacking & hiking.
