Gone ice fishin'........NOT YET.

So on my home last night (Tuesday 12/1/09), I stopped to pick something up at the store, and the puddles were frozen over!!!! FIRST ICE BABY!!!!!! Too bad the ponds and lakes aren't frozen over yet....BUT....we're getting there. It was a "scrape your windshield" morning, as well as my deck was slick this morning too. I checked the long range forecast, and if it goes as predicted, we won't be on the ice until the new year. I think this is the latest I've gotten out since I started ice fishing. The earliest was a few years ago, we were out on Black Friday. THAT was a cold winter. But now....some past reminders of WHY I love ice fishing. (And to torture myself some more)

C'mon Old Man Winter!!!! Hold off on the snow, but bring the cold so we'll have some, "ICE ICE BABY"
