Mid-November!
I just got back from running errands. It was actually SNOWING. Of course no accumulations. Hopefully that holds off until some of the cold temps on the way can build some ice. Thursday and Friday don’t look too bad for making some ice. Of course temps do jump back up based on the forecast I’m seeing.
Will this 3 day “cold spell” be enough to get you out in your area?
They are saying we (sw Wi.) will get up to 7″ between 9 pm to day and most of tommorow .

Double- 
Sorry to hear that. I haven’t looked into a detailed forecast for MPLs/St. Paul. I’m really hoping we don’t see anything like that.
Any accumulation should just about destroy whatever is left of the ice.

No question about it. It would be bad.
Well the crazies are driving full sized trucks on around here, and have full sized 8 X 12 shacks out. They better hope it gets cold fast or it may be Blub Blub Blub!!!!
I will be fishing the next 5 days!!!
mid november? More like September! it’s 52ยบ in Madison right now with 3-8″ of snow expected tomorrow.
It got cold just in time for me to head to Florida fishing tonight 
and then back in the 40’s next week when I get back 
Trading in my weekend fishing day for the gopher/sioux, I mean gopher/UND game friday night.
Go Sioux I mean go UND.
There calling for 3 to 7 inches of snow for Eastern Iowa.

What do you call them now? The UND UNDers? 
noaa.gov shows a slightly more ice fishing optimistic forecast… They tend to be the most accurate in the business.

Sounds like the no namers until 2015. 
We have plenty of ice up here and its not snowing 
I’m just hoping this three day cold spell won’t be enough to freeze me out of my area! 
Looking at 6-10 up here, just not good, our largest lakes still only have 3-4 minimally on the main lake portions and it will become a sloppy mess out there on the others…

I don’t like slush. 
We may not even get to drive trucks on the ice this season, which wouldn’t break my heart. The less vehicles the better fishing in my opinion. The exercise is always good for the body also

Due to the ice conditions I’ve been towing by hand almost exclusively this winter save one trip to LOTW. I’m down 7# so this lack of ice does have an upside.
Not looking good for NE WI, 4-8″ headed this way.
