Ksam1234 Posted April 1, 2019 Posted April 1, 2019 Sooo two of the inland lakes around me have been thawed for about 3 days and temps into the 50s. Now we have two days of last cold weather. today it’s snowing and 28 degrees and tomorrow is supposed to be 36 and sunny but a low of 28 at night. About 15 mph winds. But then Tuesday and from now on it shows 50 and higher with sun. Do you think the lake would re freeze in those two cold days ?? Or could I possibley get to go out wedsndsy or maybe this weekend with temps into the 50s Quote
Super User Gundog Posted April 1, 2019 Super User Posted April 1, 2019 Don't fret. It takes more than a couple of days to freeze a lake. 1 1 Quote
Ksam1234 Posted April 1, 2019 Author Posted April 1, 2019 Just now, Gundog said: Don't fret. It takes more than a couple of days to freeze a lake. That’s what I was hoping. I just figured maybe because it just thawed a few days ago it would freeze again super fast Quote
Super User Gundog Posted April 1, 2019 Super User Posted April 1, 2019 I think you'll be safe for Wednesday. Good luck and hope you catch them all. 1 Quote
IgotWood Posted April 1, 2019 Posted April 1, 2019 The wind will keep it from freezing too. 1 1 Quote
Glaucus Posted April 1, 2019 Posted April 1, 2019 At worst you would get that paper ice around the banks. That's it. 1 1 Quote

Super User MIbassyaker Posted April 1, 2019 Super User Posted April 1, 2019 Bodies of water heat and cool very, very slowly -- by they time the ice is gone, the water has warmed enough that 2 days dipping below freezing won't come anywhere close to making it refreeze. 1 Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted April 1, 2019 Global Moderator Posted April 1, 2019 We've had open water for a few weeks and a couple days of cold, snow, rain, and freezing temps over night had skim ice around the edges of some ponds. You might see some thin ice but nothing that will last for an extended period if it's supposed to warm back up. 1 Quote
Super User Crestliner2008 Posted April 1, 2019 Super User Posted April 1, 2019 Sun is too high to be worried about refreezing. Along with the wind, forget about it until November. 1 Quote
