Calendar Event: Winter's here Posted: 30 Dec 2017 at 6:49pm |
It was like a heat wave today we got up to 6 degrees. We got a little dusting today..........got around 2 feet of snow on the ground. Looks like it will drop to -15 tonight, luckily we haven't had much wind or it would be worse. The only saving grace is the lakes and ponds are making a lots of ice. fished on 14 inches today some people are starting to drive on the ice.

Leo, We are finally getting some of your 'global warming' in northern Michigan. -17 F this morning, a bit on the brisk side, fortunately minimal wind. Even our big inland lake across the street, Torch Lake is beginning to show signs of freezing over at the north end. It doesn't happen too often as it is nearly 20 miles long and is 2.5 miles wide at its widest point and averages 250' depth down the middle. That takes a lot of cold water to freeze over, probably a lot of fish down there too to escape the cold weather up near the surface.

I went ice fishing other other day and there was 14" of ice when usually there is 5-7 inches at this time of the year. Sounds like that would be a great place to fish!!

The coastline of mass has ice. Gotta be pretty freakin cold to freeze the ocean. Our forecast is for -25 wind chills for the next day or so. A high of about 3 i think they said. On a positive note, I'm working on booking a few sites for the fourth of july week

This was the Delaware river two days ago (my kayak launch and favorite fishing spot) and it's getting more frozen! If it was like this 241 years ago we would probably all be speaking British!!

Looks a little nippy for kayaking!!! We have people driving trucks and cars on the ponds and lakes up here. I will bring my snow machine on the ice but not the van or truck. Our high today is going to be -10 and back down to -20 tonight. Yuk!! |

I think the deep freeze is about over here in lower West Michigan! 7 this morning, tomorrow up into the low 30's, 40's by Wednesday and Thursday. Been here over 30 years and it was one serious deep freeze the past two weeks. Just in time to fly south with the Pod.

Once went to an ice race on Gull Lake (north of Brainerd MN) where there were a couple hundred racers, all their support vehicles, plus 10,000 spectators (and their vehicles) all parked on the ice. They hold an annual ice fishing contest there now that is almost as big.

I used to do tech rep work at Camp Ripley, in the 80s the NGB folks took me ice fishing near Brainerd, MN. First and last time I went, but a blast. I was amazed how deep the snow was and the cold.
