Hiking through the area on 11/13, nearly all of the streams and lakes in the area are still mostly open water. The one exception was Lone Pine Lake which is almost completely frozen over and looks skateable. Two people walked out on it without drama.
Our unseasonably warm fall is forecast to end 11/20 when temperatures at 12000 feet drop from highs near 50 to the 20s, so I imagine the lakes will start freezing up shortly.
