Making Ice

 The Lake has been trying to freeze for the past week but each time it does the winds break it up. Last night was our coldest night at -11 c  clear and calm and we made 3/8” ice around our docks. There is still open water south of us but frozen solid towards narrows and beyond. This is earliest since I’ve been recording. In 2012 she froze November 24 but winds broke it all up and didn’t freeze again till 29 th. The latest she froze was on Dec 08 2009 .  I forgot to measure but guessing today’s level is 32” lower that the height she froze last year. With the outflow over winter I may have a hard time lowering my boat as bow will be high/dry ? My first prediction was snowmobile to Barepoint Dec 05 but with a mild long range forecast may not happen?
