Local observations from Carolyn Haggard · November 11, 2026 · Weekly update
The past week has been kind of a mixed bag, as far as the ice is concerned. Fortunately, the snow, freezing rain, and windy conditions missed Flat Lake, although Wednesday was breezy. But calm and cool conditions prevailed long enough to allow Flat Lake and Mud Lake to get a full cover of ice.
Unfortunately, 40° temperatures and a pretty stiff breeze opened up a couple spots in the middle of Flat Lake, and a bit along the north shore, but the lake is almost all frozen. Ice thickness at my dock is 2".
