Ice In Contest

Aha but we need some parameters here now don't we?

Like what exactly IS Ice-In. Is it when you can drive a snowmobile across the entire lake or is it when there is a skim coating over the whole lake.

That raises a question I have. When is the average time snowmobiling starts on the lake. I can recall years ago starting snowmobiling on the lake as early as the end of December. What does it take to lock up the lake in terms of temperatures for what duration?

Thanks
