I took a ride today to check out a couple lakes. One was completely froze over. It froze yesterday. I took a step off the boat landing and my foot went right through. It had less than a 1/2". The second lake had some open spots in the middle but the majority was froze over. I was able to stand on the ice but it was very unstable at the landing. It was moving and cracking with less than a inch of ice. With the continued cold predicted and hopefully we do not get any major snow yet we will be out by the weekend. Use extreme caution on early ice!!
