Was just curious if there is any ice in southern Wisconsin I haven’t been able to get out and check any places out yet this year. Thanks in advance

Happens every year.  Get a thin layer of ice formed just to get snowed on.

Looking like I'll be on the ice around New Years, possibly a bit sooner. I can wait.

I saw 2 crazy people on the ice in the Stoughton ditches on Saturday afternoon as I drove by.  Didn't go by there Sunday to see if anyone was out there yesterday though.

Pearle68 nice link you provided  but that bar graph of Great Lakes ice cover proves my point.There is no winter anymore.

Anyone heard of the Stoughton ditches have ice yet? I’m going to be checking out some places Friday.

Lake Erie froze over completely around 2015 and/or16. 

https://www.glerl.noaa.gov/data/ice/ That said, the late 70's were the coldest in a long time...before then and after. 

Small ponds frozen all over waukesha county.  Likely fishable ice in the smaller kettle lakes by next weekend if the wind stays down at night.

Carpio, I remember there was a bar at the top of the "road" that ended up at the shore just out side of that little bay, when I got cold, Dad would give me a dime or 2, and I hiked up to that bar, and bought a Hershey bar for .10... got warmed up and hiked back to our spot... didn't do a lot of moving around when you had to spud your holes, lol

I also remember laying on the ice and seeing the fish and putting my bait in front of them, Dad laughed at me, but latre , he was doing the same! 

...and no one thought it was child abuse letting a kid walk into a bar on his own, in fact the guys there asked how the fishing was... pretty cool

I remember  Lake Erie froze completely over on Dec.10 1976. That's  never happening again in future in our lifetimes. Global warming  is so bad your lucky to ice fish there maybe one or two times per decade.
