Dec 8th -- That's the weekend I'm targetting too. I think we'll make it. Might have to get north of the metro a bit.

Just a hundred miles or less can make a big difference. For instance, last year I never drove out on the lakes I fished SW of the metro. At one point when we had only 7 to 9 inches on one of the local lakes I was hitting, I drove over to Bayport to hit the St Croix there were pickups driving on 14 inches all over the place. Total of 51 miles delta and only about 15 miles north, yet they had 5 to 7 inches more ice. Go figure.

Here's a little more realistic model:

Why do you say yours is "more realistic" than his and then post a model for COMPLETELY DIFFERENT DAYS. His model above is for the following week, NOT thanksgiving.

Your temps and his forecast temps for wednesday the 28th look pretty close

What does your your model have for the same days he posted that are supposed to be really cold? (like the 1st-2nd of dec)?

The temps look good for central mn starting this Friday into next week. A couple days getting close to highs of 32 but for the most part below for highs and lows. I had heard that once the lake is completely frozen over you can usually get out 3 days after if temps are decent. Any truth to that?

Just a couple of years ago I remember Thanksgiving evening I drove by a spot I like to hit early ice on Minnetonka , it was just skimmed over, that Saturday evening we were on 3"-4" of solid ice.
