At 3 degrees with wind chills in the minus teens, even the hardiest of ice fishers gave up on angling at Skinners Eddy on Saturday morning. Moderating temperatures should draw the clandestine crew back to the river shelf by Monday, but warmer weather and showers the rest of the week could make the Susquehanna unsafe for fishing until another hard freeze.
The eight-day forecast follows:
Saturday night’s expected low -10 clear
Sunday 19/10 mostly sunny
Monday 30/30 PM snow
Tuesday 35/15 AM flurries
Wednesday 37/32 PM showers
Thursday 48/45 PM showers
Friday 45/32 showers
Saturday 34/20 rain to snow
Sunday 25/15 mostly cloudy
