The 15 acre pond I live by in Sussex went from four inches of solid black to two inches after this weeks rain.I was hoping to get out this weekend, but no good. And waking up to 42 degrees on New Years Day ain't helping. The long range forecast not looking too good either, hope for no repeat of last year.

It's crazy that a 375 acre lake like Budd freezes up 6 inches and then a 10 acre pond down the road has half an inch. Thats why NJ ice fishing is sketchy early in the season. Hopefully Wawayanda is frozen im looking to hit that up

Many many variables, I can assure you budd doesn't have 6" of ice. Many open spots middle and shore. The wind ripped up some ice. Idk how the orgy at the beach was, but we checked other parts and I took a nice dip, felt refreshing on this nice warm January day...this weather is getting stupid...
