Yes, you're exactly right. The area between Sleepers and Treasure Islands and Rattlesnake is now open water, and that open water area is extending further and further southeastward each day. As of late this afternoon, there appeared to be a finger of open water extending from between Treasure and Rattlesnake Islands about half way over to Ship Island. The ice got noticeable darker this afternoon, with the mild temps (high 40s) and full sunlight. It's supposed to be milder yet each day this week, with full sun every day. That combination of mild temps and full sunlight will hopefully make short work of the remaining ice!
