that_guy Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 I saw people out on Florence in Cambridge today on my way through town. There is no way you'd catch me out there, but they walked out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BronzeBrother Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Just checked out on Orchard. Only walked out 15-20 feet. Not safe only 2" max of ice. You are much braver then I... All the little lakes between you in Lakeville and me in Apple Valley are wide open except for some small ponds. I checked a little lake in your area today and there isn't as speck of ice on it... Those dang geese are doing a number on that lake. Unfortunately the weather pattern is getting warm again so it will be a few weeks or more for safe ice.

JIvers Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 The small ponds down here (Iowa City, Iowa) capped this past weekend. I haven't bothered checking them, but kids have been throwing baseball-sized rocks on the ice on one pond near my house, and the ice is not breaking from the impact. It is ten degrees outside right now, and if we got a couple more days like this I would actually be ice-fishing in southeast Iowa in late November. Too bad our little cold spell ends today.

IceHawk Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Alot of the lakes around the St Cloud area are starting to open up or have alot of open pockets forming. Things were looking good but with the forecast for the end of the week around this area, it may take a few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
