Frozen lakes and rivers-- for now

Last week's frigid temperatures froze many of the area rivers and lakes, including Pinchot Lake at Gifford Pinchot State Park. Mike DiMatteo of Newberry Township tried ice fishing with no luck, while Earlene Dormer and Dean Swartz of Manchester Township put on skates --Swartz' were brand new-- and carved some designs in the snow. Monday's weather will be a mixed bag of rain, snow and sleet, a transition to Wednesday's expected high temperatures of 60 degrees.
