Next 10 days here is 30*'s & 40*'s and not much snow in the forecast. Our waters are frozen with a nice layer of snow on it but the rains we're getting will change that. Stay warm my friend. Not sure about predictable - I vaguely recall cursing a few forecasts up off of Boston, Merrimac, Chatham, Cohasset, Scituate, Gloucester, Ipswich, Rye, and Portland. Might be a little snowier though. A-Jay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very little if anything that happens this entire month ever plays any role in if there's hard or open water in April or May for that matter. Late March's demeanor might affect this whole deal a little. But for my money, it's all about April. A Super mild one, especially early, could open it up and of course, well, I don't even want to discuss the other option. Looking back at my reports, I've had some very special days on the water in April & early May. So I'm just going to do what I can to be ready when the time comes. Is it too early to pack a lunch ? A-Jay This is dead on right here. Living in ice country is unpredictable to say the least. As I said above last year we had ice out in early March...I caught my biggest largie of the year (7lbs) on April 5th. Several years prior they were worried bout the ice not being off some of the bigger lakes for walleye opener which is the first weekend in May. We made it but it was the end of April. That's a 7 week swing so there is no way to know until its here. Case in point if you asked me last month I'd have predicted early ice out like last year...now we have been hit with one of the coldest winter storms the country has seen in forever.

This helps two fold. 1: Seeing the sun even if it’s sun zero sure helps everyone’s mood, a person can only take so much grey gloomy days. 2: The sun will help melt some of this snow. Right now we have anywhere from 12-18” on the ground. It’s nice and pretty for the average person, but for myself and my coworkers who have to walk through it, it’s a PITA, and very gassing. So hopefully this sun will melt some of this. As I’m writing this the weather guesser is saying another 2-4” over the weekend. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Global Moderator 12poundbass Posted February 21, 2021 Global Moderator Share Posted February 21, 2021 How much snow do you guys have on the ground? We have about 18” in most spots. I hope the warm temps put a good hurting on the snow so the sun can get to that ice sooner than later. The overnight lows are still going to be pretty cold so the melt won’t be as fast as I’d like. Warm night, warm sunny windy days are on my wish list right about now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super User A-Jay Posted February 23, 2021 Author Super User Share Posted February 23, 2021 It's just about 30 degrees here this morning - and no wind which is always nice. I'm headed out into the pre-dawn darkness for some Wally World grocery shopping. My last trip a couple a weeks ago, also early morning, it was -15 and the wind across the parking lot was no joke ! So this morning will be down right balmy compared to last trips brain freeze. 57 Days & a Wake Up ~ A-Jay 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
