How Much Longer? What do we Need?
Message:
I see the date is now February 20, 2013. Many, including I, are getting cabin fever and bass and striper fever. We don't even mind if it's panfish. How much longer would you say it'll be till smaller ponds south of 84 in FFLD and HVN Counties start to thaw? I looked at the extended forecast for my local area and temps are supposed to rise back into the mid 40s later this week with a combination of rain, snow, and sleet from the storm currently hitting the Plains. Winds are supposed to not get too strong again also. Overnight lows are supposed to stay in the 20s and lower 30s. Other than the rain, moisture, calmer winds, and warmer temps, what else do we need in order for smaller ponds to start thawing? Will it finally be that time within a week after March starts?
