Area Water Temps?

I'm looking for water temps across the area, yes I am anxious for the lakes to freeze up. Particularly High Point Lake, Greenlick lake, Acme Dam....but I would love to hear the others if anyone has any!
 
Thanks,
Bryan

BTDT, that is great news! This morning I went a different way to work to check out a small pond that I was hoping had skim ice on it...it did! Few more weeks and we should be there! You are going to love that power auger, a buddy of mine that fishes with me has one. I have the good ole Jiffy sitting in the garage waiting, fired her up and she's running smooth! I did however buy a shanty and a big buddy heater, normal size shanty but wife wants a bigger one!  

All traces of ice will be gone by end of next week with temperatures in the 50s and low 60s for a week...and very little overnights below mid 30s...I loved last winter...was able to open water fish all winter!!!...

Just something about being out on the ice, no wind, temps in the teens, after a day of warmer weather. Sitting on a inverted bucket, jigging a lure maybe tipped with live bait, through a hole in the ice, while enjoying a hot coffee and a freshly toasted baloney and cheese sammitch.

Chewing the fat about the days events with good friends as the ice expands while refreezing from the now colder temperatures.

Hearing the ice sing and zing with moans, groans and occasional quivers and shivers, sending newbies to the shoreline.

Heck even those windy or sub-zero days, it's still great to sit in a ice shanty and reminisce about the good Ole days, while the ice sings her songs.

A "FYI" to those not knowing me and a reminder to those wishing they didn't, don't expect many if any fishy pictures. But you can bet yinz azs..... I'll be having a good time.

Tight lines to all and through the ice, do not fall.

yeah I know, that was corny but yinz is just sour grapes cause I thought of it first.

Here in Pa. Late December early January is the norm for ice. We have to get better ice than last year. I'll we on a pond 3-4 times a week. I kill all size crappie at Shenango and usually end up with a decent 20- 30 nice keepers 10.inches and up. Moraine yields millions of gills and the to get keepers here you've got to lower your standards and keep fish at 7 inches but not hard to get a pile 7-7.5 fish. I can't consistently get on big crappie there but pre -dawn bite was the ticket last winter,but then again only get 6-10 giants and was over. Two years ago found out where the wipers live in the winter and had a ball on them last year the Ice was not safe to venture too. P.I. always interesting big crappie and sometimes jumbo perch,big pumpkin seeds,occasionally a big steelhead or a big bass. I've gotten away from fishing Pymy,long walks to find hit or miss fish.Then the private lakes yield quality fish, Latonka is very good along with a couple others. There nothing like ice,two buckets of tip ups,two buckets of high end jigging poles,two sleds,three shanties,Jiffy pro 4 propane auger,big buddies heater,two Vex's. We've got plenty of venison to cook on the ice,chili,burgers,backstrap,and sausage. I can't wait.

Cold is the water temp

Bsapp don't fret the Mountain Man he means no harm. He is likely discontent over a chipped or broken nail. If you ever have interest in carp fishing MM is the man.

As for FishUSA I couldn't agree with you more. Customer service is top notch along with a great line of products least not forget pricing.

My little piece of Penn's Woods will be 50 degrees today, 60 tomorrow then falling back to the forties for highs the rest of the week.

Ice still reforming overnight on my beaver pond then melting from the warmer daytime temps.

Won't take long for good sustainable ice once the high temperatures reach the 20s and the lows drop into the teens.

Enjoy your new hoodies.

Our ice season here in SW PA is from mid January to mid February and that's if we're lucky.  Last year I got out on the ice twice and both times the ice wasn't what I would call safe.

The high temps are more important than the lows. The highs need to be in the teens or single digits for at least a week.

bring on the ice

Try the army corps of engineers website, or usgs water data pa. I use the usgs site to get water temps for my log book not all sites have a temp reading you will have to experiment.
Right now the water temp in karthaus is 38 degrees.

Good thinking nut, I will have to give that a shot!

looks like the usgs is the way to go search temp parameters for streams near you are looking for should give a good idea of lake temp. play around with it and see if it helps.

Looks like a cold front coming thru on Thursday.
