Probably ice-in around mid January.
Yes the lake has had years where it did not completely freeze. I've boated on the lake every single month except February. The January trip was a few years ago and it was interesting as I was in my 13 Whaler and we would be hitting little skim coats of ice as we were motoring along. It was so cool to see ice crystals flying. The March trip was in 2002 and I was with another forum member who was showing me his Island home that he was selling. We went from Minge Cove to Rattlesnake in his pontoon boat.
Ice-Out April 27, 2011. I use that guess every year... and I'm always wrong.
