I am in southern Wisconsin. So yes, I know that late November is always a reach. We have not done that in about 5 years but I am positive that this is the year!!

Re: I'm calling it!!!!
I was getting excited as well over the last couple weeks with sub-zero weather in Ontario and ice forming in the backyard. Well, that was until it hit 19.2'C yesterday and it all disappeared. I fully expect to be skating again this year on Christmas Eve as it has become tradition around my place. I believe in Santa just so he'll bring me ice in the backyard! :-)

Re: I'm calling it!!!!
The Pond Hockey Gods have smiled upon us here is S. Wisconsin.....timing a two week + period of below freezing temps to go along with Christmas break. We flooded a section of The Pond on Christmas Eve and we were out there on Christmas morning. Here's hoping everyone gets a cold stretch as well!!
