Our 100-acre lake in Presque Isle started to ice over yesterday. This morning it looks like most of the shorelines/bays have made ice. About 25% of the open body of lake now iced over. Checked my cabin log and looks to be about a week or two earlier than what I have kept track of over 28 years. Also noticed that most of the swampy areas along County W in MW, Winchester, and Presque Isle are now iced over. Hope this is a good sign of things to come before we get snow cover.

yes starting to make ice here in northern price too
small ponds and bays frozen over
lake and swamp water levels are very low also rite now
lowest I have seen in many years
40s this weekend and then highs in the low 20s next week with single digit lows
hopefully ice fishing thanksgiving weekend
early ice is the best

that's good news! as long as the snow machine doesn't start icing over early that's pretty cool rph130 about the 28 years of record keeping!
