Not Looking Good
Message:
For you fishermen who are getting ready for the ice season, things aren't looking good. We're in for another November 2011 to February 2012 season.
You see these outlooks online. I myself sometime put together an outlook. I've been into weather for over a decade and follow forecast maps and patterns.
Below are maps I came up with in October 2011 which proved to be right. I was catching yellow perch on a firetiger F-7 at Twin Brooks in January 2012 and bass up to 3 pounds were still slamming the sunset tiger J-7 at the funeral home in early December 2011. There was no ice and it rained much more than it snowed. I see the same thing happening this season due to the pattern the lower 48 has been seeing since late September.
November & December

The big factor will be an El Nino causing there to be a tropical low pressure near Bermuda bringing us moisture and a strong ridge in the northern Great Lakes keeping temps warmer than normal and bringing wet waves of low pressure to us as they enter from the Pacific Northwest.
