How much ice you got?
« on: Jan 19, 2015, 08:02 PM »
The two lakes I go to have 6"-7". Kinda thin for this time of year. The lake I want to get on is maybe 2" with a bunch of snow. What do you all have to drill through.

Have 11" down here in Eastern Iowa in most the harbors of the Mississippi.. I'd be happy with a couple inches of snow so I'm not ice skating.

I was on three different lakes this weekend and it was around 15" on all three. About 9-14" of snow and a couple of the lakes having about 2-6" of water/slush on the ice. Getting around was tough in spots. If we get any more snow without some cold to firm up the slush it's going to be really tough to get around.

Look at the bright side; You don't have to work as hard making holes! And fishing may be more comfortable!

This Pacific Maritime weather influence is getting old. Been staying just below and above freezing day and nigh here in northern Indiana. Was some freezing rain this morning.

I guess I shouldn't complain; I can still ice fish.

Up to 10.5" but looks like it's going to stall out there for a week.

Depending on the lake, anywhere from 6 to 18 inches BUT rapidly deteriorating.  60 degrees with wind for a high today and lows above freezing.  By the end of the week 1/2 the local lakes probably won't be safe to access.

Twenty inches around here.
