No ice.

So its December 1st and the lake is still open. Deadhorse did freeze shut this weekend. With as nasty as October was I expected the lake to freeze over in November. This was not to be the case as we had as good a November as possibly can be had on the shores of Lake Gilmore. The temps were mild and for the most part way above average. The only drawback to that was no snow during deer hunting but with the warm temps it was a nice trade off.

With all the rain we received in October the lake is back up to normal levels from its super low point in September and late summer. I have seen a few ducks and geese and even seen a late season lingering loon last week on Tuesday, that was a big surprise to see.

Well December here we come...... with the weather ups ands downs this year it will be interesting to see what happens. The forecast for this week is for snow and normal temps.

Take Care
