I hope people continue to treat the ice with caution. Clearly there is still a lot more freezing needed before venturing far offshore.
Does anyone have a rule of thumb in terms of how long after the ice freezes is it "safe?"

What I'm asking I guess is what is the rate that ice is "made" once it freezes over. Is it measured in "inches per night" during subfreezing temp nights?
