elk conditions for Tuesday 23rd

Just wondering if anyone has any predicitons or info on the conditions on elk.  I am thinking about making a drive up tomorrow to fish Folly's, but am concerned that it may be heavily iced over with this cold snap.  Tommorrow is supposed to be slightly warmer, but it won't help much if there is heavy ice built up from today and tonight.  Any predictions for upper elk conditions tomorrow?  Will it be fishable enough to make it worth a 1.75 hour drive?  Thanks.
 
 

Unless you have a lot of differant spots to fish, you may be dissapointed. Some areas are still clear but most of the normal big and slow areas are solid!
 
Time to get out the auger, boys!

I usually fish the faster water and narrow deep runs.  I am not much of a big slow pool fisherman, but when it gets cold like this, that is where the fish tend to hold.  I may come up with low expectations just to get a line wet.   Thanks for the feedback

We have had over a foot of snow in southern and central Erie couty and it is still snowing.  The high temp so far today has been 11.  Not discourging you from coming, but it is going to be tough fishing tomorrow and for a few days.

I don't want to give you any weather or creek predictions, what I do want to tell you is: The streets here in Erie are a mess, the worst driving conditions I have seen this year. We have high winds and more snow predicted. If any of yinz r drivin' up here, B careful and good luck.

WELL, BE CAREFUL DRIVING, THEY ARE CLOSING SCHOOLS AND ALL KINDS OF OTHER THINGS TONIGHT, I LIVE NEARBY AND DON'T THINK CONDITIONS WILL ALLOW MUCH TIL WENSDAY, MAYBE FRI AND SAT WILL BE GOOD,. OF COURSE, ANY DAY FISHING IS GOOD. PM ME IF YOU WANT     GLEN
 

All the tribs are frozen.

Creeks are locked up about 90%.

Tommy, we are supposed to get a warm spell with rain.  We did get a lot of snow up here and I believe some, if not most of that will melt causing near, if not complete blow out of creeks.  I would check the gauges and see.

Yeah.  I've been watching the gauges and it looks like they are already up, I don't quite understand why, I assumed all of the cold weather would be locking the water up as ice, but the walnut and brand run gauges look to be spiking. 
 
I can deal with cold, I can deal with ice, I can deal with slush, I can deal with bad roads, but blown out streams are no good.  I was hoping the water would come up enough to clear out some ice, but not so much as to make it unfishable, but looking at the gauges now, and knowing the temps are supposed to come up and it is supposed to rain, I think you are probably right and everything will be blown out tomorrow.
