She's making ice today, boys

[huntingislife]

Holy hana, its friggin cold outside

[metrojoe]

Plus we didn't get any of that snow. Good set up for the March panfish.

[BIG DIESEL]

how much did people get roughly? Here is Owatonna we got roughly 2-3". Pretty close to the 5-12" they were talking about....

[woodman]

it is -25 this morning in Bemidji, with wind chill recorded on the local tv as low as -70. I am camping next to the wood stove today and watching cartoons with the kids.

[eyepatrol]

woodman...that's a bit nippy!

We didn't get ANY snow here in Gaylord, which is basically smack dab in between Mankato and Hutch. -12 on the guage this morning. My walking days out on the ice should be over for a little while.

[The_Duckslayer]

We got maybe a half inch of snow here in Hooterville. Temp on the gauge this morning was a brisk -12. Yeah... shes making ice! Just wish that I did not have this creeping crud so that I could go out and enjoy!!! Have a good one and N Joy the Hunt././Jimbo

[Ralph Wiggum]

Not a flake in the NW metro.

[Fever]

Don't know how credible the bank's thermometer is but on the way to work this am I read -19 F, My jeep's thermometer read -16 ... Holy ----! Definately will help ice conditions for march fishing I would think. Don't know how much 3-4 inches of poor ice and a little snow could possibly insulate temps that low.

Hey RRat, My younger Brother lives down near fort Ridgely, near the Mn river. He has been having unbeleivable success on the river fishing Walleye. Good numbers of large fish, fishing in 14 fow utilizing current, using a heavy jig head and fats... Just thought I'd let you in on the river bite... Maybe you could still get your fix b4 the season ends on them eyes. I havent been able to get down there myself .... Married, three kids limits my outings to closer to home on local lakes, 3-6 hours max.

I'm up at the in-laws in Harvey, ND today... -25 this morning...

The car was a bit slow to start...

it needs to warm up, we have plenty of ice. but need some snow. it made it to -14 today in big lake as the high, the wind was bad. I can deal with the temps, but that wind was not nice. since I fish out of a portable, looks like a fishless weekend.

[Captain B.R.K]

This cold is brutal but should firm up the ice for those that will be attending the Cool Cats 2006 Get together in a few weeks.

I agreee though this doesn't make for great weather to be out in. I know I won't be hitting the ice, but will stop in at the Sportsman's Show in St.Cloud! That will get the open water bug running a bit

[Mark Christianson]

I know I will be trying for some kitties this coming week. This cold snap is sure to have firmed up the "iffy" spots.

FINALLY!

[tashit]

I love this weather. Come on, it really isn't THAT cold! If I didn't have other things going on I would be out there this evening for sure. I will definitely be out tomorrow though.

[CAJ]

Here in NE Montana, we havn't had enough snow all Winter to get the shovel out yet. Been warmest winter on record since 1898. We have had 3 days now in the below temps. This weather is realy good for the Phesant population here that is making a good comeback. CAJ

[river rat316]

Fever thx for the tip but I dont fish for rough fish , they fight like a wet t-shirt .

Hopefully by mid March I will be down on pool 2 checking things out, getting ready for BASS fising, theres always Kitties on the Miss here to around end of March early April. Til then I will just drive the wife nuts
