I would bet that there is prolly close to 18-19 inches out west.. it was 14 on Sunday

XERO Joined: 03/23/2004 Location: ND	I received an email from the Corps in Riverdale that they had declared the lake frozen January 18th. I was up there Sunday and no ice was visible. I would have thought that the wind alone would keep it open. -----Original Message----- Sent: Wednesday, January 18, 2012 4:17 PM Subject: Lake Sakakawea (UNCLASSIFIED) Classification: UNCLASSIFIED Caveats: NONE FYI - Lake Sakakawea was officially declared frozen over today, 18 January 2012.

taylorman_55 Joined: 02/24/2010 Location: ND	even with -17, to freeze the entire surface over.... would still take a matter of at least a week, if not 2 to freeze it all over. As for freeze over like others stated, i guess it goes with the intake, which I did not know. Still gonna take another week at least with temps like this to get the main froze over. I'll ask the old man later today, he will be up in the area today checking it out. RecurveShooter Said: taylorman_55 Said: Where do you find the info for this?
