Yeah,
Every year we freak and there's plenty. One of the reasons that I picked this place was because it freezes early.

Early compared to other freezes...see how this keeps me non-committal.
Anybody going to be staying at the hotel? If so, what nights?

Talked to Rappin Mikey yesterday. He's nervous about the ice. Here is what I see:
Today
Plentiful sunshine. High 27F. Winds N at 5 to 10 mph.
Tonight
Mainly clear. Low 13F. Winds light and variable.
Monday December 19
Day
Partly cloudy and windy. High 39F. Winds SSW at 15 to 25 mph.
Night
A few snow showers around in the evening, otherwise mostly cloudy. Low 24F. Winds W at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of snow 30%.
Tuesday December 20
More sun than clouds. Highs in the low 30s and lows in the mid 20s.
Wednesday December 21
Chance of showers. Highs in the mid 40s and lows in the low 30s.
Thursday December 22
Occasional showers possible. Highs in the mid 40s and lows in the upper 20s.
Friday December 23
Considerable cloudiness. Highs in the low 40s and lows in the low 20s.
Saturday December 24
Mix of sun and clouds. Highs in the low 30s and lows in the low 20s.
Sunday December 25
Sunny. Highs in the mid 30s and lows in the low 20s.
Monday December 26
Sunny. Highs in the mid 30s and lows in the upper teens.
Tuesday December 27
Times of sun and clouds. Highs in the mid 30s and lows in the low 20s.
I think with the long nights, we should be fine with no more 40's after next week. I can still remember driving past Long Pond on the way to Naked Xmas with no ice there on the 24th, and we had plenty of ice by the tourney.
Have faith!

The weather forecast looks good. I was beginning to wonder if I was going to bring my ice fishing sled or my canoe.  |

Getting up over 50 yesterday sure isn't helping for the ice over.

Just talked to Doctor's of Da Bait, which is the tackle shop across the street from the pond... He will be open and stocked with shiners at 5 AM on the 14th for anybody who needs anything.

Gotta agree the ice is not looking good here in western mass, plus all the rain last night didnt help. |

We're going to make a call a week from Saturday. I've been looking at the weather and we should have a decent 9 day stretch starting tomorrow.
I'm already booked for the motel for two unrefundable nights, so I wouldn't like to lose the $130 on the lodgings. I plan to take a trip out there a week from Saturday.

Windy with mostly clear skies. Low 13F. Winds W at 20 to 30 mph.
Thursday December 29
Day
A mainly sunny sky. High around 30F. Winds W at 10 to 20 mph.
Night
Partly cloudy skies early with a few snow flurries later at night. Low near 20F. Winds SSW at 5 to 10 mph.
Friday December 30
Flurries or a mix of rain and snow showers throughout the day. High 38F. Winds S at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of precip 40%.
Saturday December 31
A few snow showers. Highs in the mid 30s and lows in the low 20s.
Sunday January 1
Times of sun and clouds. Highs in the upper 30s and lows in the mid 20s.
Monday January 2
More clouds than sun, windy. Highs in the upper 30s and lows in the low teens.
Tuesday January 3
Windy with times of sun and clouds. Highs in the upper teens and lows in the mid single digits.
Wednesday January 4
Mostly sunny. Highs in the mid 20s and lows in the mid teens.
