Ice-In 2012-13

The lake temperature is 36 degrees... I have not seen it freeze over when it was greater than 35. On the other hand.... The lake has skimmed over in early January, then thawed, then skimmed over in late January and became safe to ride snowmobiles on in early February. In my humble opinion, Ice-In is when the lake is iced over enough to take hold, not necessarily safe ....

To me the most miraculous thing is to look at Snake Eyes one day and see open water, and to wake up the next morning and see it solid!!!

This is all FLLs fault for taking his boat lift out!
