We had about an inch a couple weeks ago, then only a couple flakes since then. Nothing like going into November when I was a kid tho.

The wind is blowing pretty good right now. It's always neat watching the waves from Lake Michigan slam into the pier's and light house. I haven't seen ice pile up much along the lakeshore in years. One year was really cool with these large jagged sheets of ice just pushed and piled up into all sorts of random shapes.

Nothing yet in Ontario. We are in the snow belt and few years ago got over 100"s in one snow fall.

No frost in the ground yet. Snow will not stay till then. This year the barn swallows left three weeks late so I am expecting a pile of snow for a few weeks then mild and all will melt. Then repeat all winter. Nothing will stay this year from November December into next year.

Cheers Don.

A few years ago we had a pretty heavy snowfall before the ground froze. Then it got cold. The ground was insulated enough by the snow, and enough snow kept falling that the ground took a couple of months to finally freeze.

What snow meletd at the bottom was replaced on top.

That year the ground never froze more than about 4" deep.

We had one snow of about 3 inches, but it melted within a couple of days.

I'm just hoping it doesn't get cold enough to lock the ponds up about 2", THEN snow on top of that....Snow on top of ice really puts the brakes on any further ice development, and I'm ready for some hard water fishing asap..

We had 5-6 inches last week; gone in a few days. The average temperature so far in November is 33.6F. There was temp-ice around the edges of the pond this morning.

The circulator is sitting on the Barge ready to install. I like to wait until the bitter end.

JKB, You just HAD to say that dirty 4 letter word, didn't ya?

Local weather says:

Heavy lake effect snow from 7:00 p.m. Monday until 7:00 p.m. Tuesday.

According to the map, if the wind switches even a teeny bit to the East, I'll have about 9" of snow on the ground Tuesday evening. If the wind doesn't switch, I'll still have about 6" of that white stuff on the ground. They are calling for snow in the lake effect snow bands to be coming down at the rate of up to 2" per hour.

Looks like it's time to put the snow tires on the car tomorrow!!

I'm NOT ready for the snow season to start just quite yet!!!

Looks like I'll be caught in snow and ice on my way back.

I hate being on the road the first few snow falls. Everyone still has their summer feet on the gas and brake pedals. I can see the traffic tie ups already. It's gonna be a long ride home.

Its snowing down here in Galva, Il. Boy, this small town shuts down early.

They have pretty decent cable internet at the Super 8. No AT&T service for some distance tho.

It is snowing fairly decent at this hour now.

They are saying that we could see 2" per hour in the storm, and could wind up with 9" or so.

We had our first snow as my dearest friend Dolly dog and I cross country walked in it, starting at 2am this morning as we always do. Very refreshing this morning and easy to see in the dark.

Woke up today with 4"s lake effect snow. Should be gone the end of the week but nice to see all the mud covered up.

Heavy fog over the pond from the temp swing.

You wouldn't say that on Ice Shanty.com. They'd run you off the site. grin

No snow but expecting a 50F temp drop tonight. That can be tough on fish especially with a 30 mph north wind.

2" here this morning but likely all gone by tomorrow. Ground is still too warm, plus we're supposed to see 63 degrees on Monday. Crazy weather, but man it looks awesome out there today!

Just got back from Galva. Pretty much light to a dusting, or heavy frost till you cross to Indiana. Then it starts to build from there. Southwest lower Michigan got dumped on pretty good.

I expected to see some snow when I got home, but the only snow up here is what I brought back with me laugh
