Ice-in Watch 2007-2008

This is the Official Ice-in thread for the 2007-2008 season. Usually I start this thread much later in the season as ice-in has been quite late in recent years. This year the water temps in the last few weeks have been 4-5 degrees lower than last year on the same dates. Today's water temp (12-14-2007) is 36 degrees, last year it was 41. The broads usually ices over when the reported water temperature is 33-34 degrees.

I have been receiving emails predicting an early ice-in. Wouldn't that be really cool??

The Ice-In Watch page is up at www.rattlesnakecam.com/icein.htm. Come along with us and watch the lake freeze and see the winter fun out there!!!

For anyone willing to take a daily or frequent picture from the same place every day showing the lake conditions, I will put the picture on the ice-in page. You have to be willing to upload the picture to my website. In the past I have been emailed pictures but unable to post them in a timely manner. Soooo I hope you will do this part for our huge audience!! If you have a webcam I have not yet includes please send email (even if you have sent one before, I have had a busy time at work this fall)

Let the games begin!!!!
