Lake Christina was fully frozen at sunrise Sat Nov 20, currently they're under a storm advisory with 4-6" possible.
With our current brisk temperatures, other lakes are in the process of freezing now...
as I understand there are half a dozen or so europeans are planning on coming, so we'd better find some ice over the weekend.
Plans are forming for ice searching/checking expeditions beginning Friday.

Lake Jennie, Meeker Co ice report
I went out nearly 1/2 way across the lake from SW landing. Thickness is 3" (not over) out there. Cracks are froze over and very visible thru the 3/4" snow. I am not comfortable sailing all over the lake by myself. There is plenty of room for a couple of markers on the area I skated near. I hope to get my runners this AM & sail my way out this afternoon. 2 Fisherman were out beyond the bay this morning - I wasn't the only fool.
