Skimmed over for a few days then it disappeared with the warm up. Won't take long when things turn again.

I checked the high country and it had 2” then it opened back up. Now it might be socked in with snow.

End of next week the forecast calls for teens and single digits at night. That should lock stuff up!

Probably next week. In 2022 we had close to a foot by this time. I took the sled out and caught a limit of pike

Two (17 year old) ice fisherman had to be rescued after breaking through 1” of ice last week in over in Minnesota lakes country. The week before a duck hunter drowned while swimming out to rescue his dog that had become hung up on the thin ice while retrieving a duck. One happy ending. One very sad ending.

Thong weather this Fall.

Saw skim ice on a cattle tank this morning. Expecting small water to start freezing by the end of the month with the cold snap coming, but I think we’ll need a week of single digits to get fishable ice anywhere.

Thankfully no….

 

[JEL]

We’ve barely had frost.

Des Moines area I don’t recall a milder fall ever. Our family’s winter hats and gloves aren’t out of storage yet. Just two hard frosts so far. I have broccoli and carrots growing, and my radishes are ready to harvest. Still need to mow my lawn one more time. A week ago I shot my buck in t-shirt weather, and packed it out shirtless 2 hours after dark. First real cold front rolling in Weds, finally.

Thong weather this Fall.

It’s always thong weather if you’re brave enough.

It’s always thong weather if you’re brave enough.

Straight to this, this year:

Driving around here in Montana yesterday I saw some folks ice skating on a lake. I probably shouldn't mention which one it was but I don't even know the name of it so there's that.

Yesterday, north of Tiber, we were in -17* and 6" of snow, calling coyotes. The lake was too low to launch a boat, even if it was not freezing on the edges.
