It has been many years since Lake Pend Oreille froze over. I have heard it has, but not in the 26 years I've lived in Bayview.
Many things have to come together. First, an Arctic outbreak, well we certainly have that. Then the lake temperature must get very cold. Then no wind to keep the water still.
If we get enough below zero weather, the bay could snap freeze. It will be very interesting to see.
There are 9 days predicted to be at or below zero in the next month and multiple days at least 8 days at 15 or less.
