You always seem to have a good perspective on local ice conditions.
Thank you.

Monday was not a good day for being on the ice. Today is a different story. The soft and open spots are frozen again, having been exposed to a 10 degree night. The surface water seeped back into the cracks. However, the wind blew much of the foot of snow we received off the lake. There are large portions of ice showing. Somewhere, south of here, there must be some pretty big drifts. This morning, the sky is clear, but there are still big clouds of snow blowing by. Nobody has snowmobiled by here yet, but they'd probably get away with it.
10:30 update: when testing the ice, my ice poker found open water right by shore. The areas that had pulled away from the shore during the wind drifted over but did not freeze. It just looked that way. Had I stepped first, I would have had wet knees. As always - use caution!
