Looks like the temps will be good for serious icemaking this week. Lake Vermilion should be safe to ride on before too long.(as of yesterday some bays had 3" -4" of ice) With no snow it should be a good base on the lakes. Hopefully that part comes soon after.

Heres a link to Tower's temp outlook for the week.
brrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Nice, I need some Ice.

That is perfect. A week of cold to get everything froze up really good and then 15'' storm the following week. I guess we can only hope and dream.

-1F right now.

-3 in ely right now, -14 with the windchill

Ya cold is good... I was up at Vermilion last sunday to my moms and on Daisy Bay there was a good 3-4 inches next to shore and a solid 2-3 inches out about 30 feet from shore so it should be good in a week or 2 for some early ice fishing if it stays cold like they say.. The ground is starting to freez up pretty good also cuz I have to make a pilot hole in the ground to place locate flags in, It is firm enough I can't just push them in any more.. Couple more weeks of work for me then it's time for a break for the winter from work till April or so anyway

Jimmer , tomorrow is my last day for the year . then 175 hours of pto in december . Alittle colder than when I met you at grantsburg that sunday . I WANNA GROOM !!!!!

Sure rub it in why don't ya.... I got 2 more weeks left, Dec. 15th will or at least should be my last day and then I have 40 hours PTO to cash in on for the year. I'll be down in cids that weekend for X-Mass on my Dads side of the family, then one more paycheck till unenjoyment starts.. We are working on our groomer this weekend, oil change and some track maintenance (changing some cleats) and cleaning it up to get ready for the year.. I love this cold weather makes it feel like it is Dec. now

hehe, it december tomorrow............. :frech32:

j/k

our lake froze this morning. usually doesn't freeze till the middle of december so november 30th is pretty darn good. maybe we'll actually have good ice this year??

The lake i live on has only had one small bay that has been open for the last couple weeks. A lot of the lakes around here have been froze over for a while now.

down here in Iowa, Oak Lake just froze within the last couple hours, should be icefishing by Wednesday if the current forecast stays true

as of tonight 5" of ice while out fishing tonight on shagawa lake in ely, minnesota

Okay we got freeze up covered, now comes the worst part. Waiting for.... Im not even gonna say it.

:banghead:

the waiting sux. but its making for "good" ice on the lakes :beerchug:

Me and the other drunken numbskulls cut a hole in the ice last night so we could sauna. Ice is around 8" thick at Windigo and smooth as glass, for all you speed-runners out there that want to run the high numbers!

Windigo Resort or is there a Lake Windigo?

What do you think, fuzz-nuts?

With that response I am going to assume Windigo Lodge.....


:burp:

minnetonka has some bays that froze over pretty nicely very flat just have to wait for it to all freeze now 14 more days to see if we can ride

Why 14 more days?

Looks like Vermilion will be safe to ride for sure by next weekend....

who's with me???????

would be all for it, if i had my sled :banghead:

My dad has a 92 indy lite GT (340) you could borrow. Has a sweet rack on back that can hold a 12 pack.

The trails open on Dec. 15th Maybe that's what he meant.

tonka doesn't freeze over the best , I would be leary even after that . the trails are open in North Branch . now if we could just get alittle snow

LMAO. I might need a little more power and some studs... incase we broke thru lol :celebrating:

i was out last night testing the mod.

did some jetting and got it ripping!!

going out tonight again after school!!!!

Any reports on Mille Lacs?

Thanks Twilight, I don't ride trails, so I guess I don't know when they open. Thought maybe it had something to do with fish houses being able to permanently stay on the lake, but again I don't fish, so I don't know... Grandparents live on Tonka, yet I don't like to fish one bit... :div20:

I looked tonight and the bays have 3-7" on them. Huskerdu!
