Keeping this post focused on Lakes Region temps and impact...

Based on the 7-10 day forecast, we should see quickly declining water temps over the next few weeks. Small ponds here in N-central MA have stated keeping their ice skim well into the day, and I expect to start seeing ice on the edges of the larger ones any day now.

With temps well below freezing at night, and barely above freezing (if at all) during the day, the water gives up heat quickly. I'd say we're on track for a normal ice in early January (+/- a few weeks)

(For those who would like to continue to debate the larger global warming/cooling subject, please do so in another forum more appropriate to the topic)
