Dang i looked at the weather and temps on weather.com and it looks amazing, good cold days and out fishing!

[fishersofmen]

Things are looking good!

I'm bothered by the high winds for the next three days while the early ice is forming. That's going to make the surface rough, but worse, it's going to mix a lot of air in with the ice as it forms. We won't have the clear strong first ice like we need to get out on that two to three inches. The air pockets will make it to weak. Or, could I be wrong? The next few days will tell. I'd like to be out there come Sunday or Monday.

I hope it comes very soon too. Here in southwestern mn it isnt looking to good right now. I put my my date as dec 5th for when i would first get out but it looks like i may have to travel north to get it.

[Fishin4fun_MN]

I'm with you Ice_Medic. I chose the first of Dec.

[slabz]

I am planning to be fishing by this time next week, with highs below 32 and lows in the teens it won't be long at all!

[Ziesmer]

Cold all day but no ice! Hopefully tonight

I'm not do sure yet for the Metro. Next Thursday, Friday and Saturday all have highs in the 40's and lows above freezing. I sure hope that forecast drops a bit.

Zero degrees here this morning at Lake Vermilion, Tower, MN.!

Ice formed on a lot of the smaller bays now! Hope that the snow holds off until we at least have walkable ice!

Thats not for everywhere! When you bring up a forecast like that you have to say where its for. For me here in central mn the warmest i see it is next weekend otherwise the long term forecast has highs at about 30 degrees

[shizzy]

I drove back from Eastern Wisconsin this morning and some of the smaller lakes I passed were starting to get a little skim ice on top.

Soon...

SOON!!!

[fishnowworknever]

oh boy...

[schweady]

Let's hope that the existing ice completely disappears before that much snow arrives.
