I am going home to these temps. Ice climbing season has begun and I'm ready.

What’s the general rule of thumb for how cold it has to be to be safe?
There is no specific temp. Ideally a consistent freezing temp is best because it is crucial for ice formation. If the temp fluctuates, it messes with the hardening of the ice. We don't want to climb on brittle ice.
