Maybe the ice is thick enough due to the cold, but I can tell you...I wouldn't be out there!
While I agree that it's still a little early to be out there given the variation in freezing/thickness, I would think this extreme cold would be adding at least 1" per day if not 2" or more. Even over the course of three days there could already be 6" of ice.
