<p>This morning it's 4 degrees with -8 windchill. As badly as I want to get on the ice, this is too cold for me. I have cold gear but nothing for below 0 temps. I'll get plenty of trips in the next couple weeks. Good luck and be safe.</p>

<p>I've been out 3 times this week. That's one more than all of last year. Ice is good on all but the deepest lakes here in WNY. Doing well on 'gills with several near but not quite 10". Caught my annual walleye with a plus one 22" upgrade. The single digit temps do take a toll on the fun factor.</p>

<p>That's definitely part of the reason I haven't been out this weekend. When it turns into a battle for survival, the fun is gone. Ha!</p>

<p>I've been seeing reports on various FB groups of ice, even fishable ice, in my area. I probably won't be able to even test it until Monday, due to work. Supposed to get above freezing and rain Sunday.</p>

<p>Should be good for the weekend on a few lakes here in WNY. I'll wait for 4"+......... Too old to swim, too big to float.</p>
