I saw Ice all over Twin, just south of Penguilly Friday night and it was wide open last night.  I drove the 4 wheeler across a frozen puddle this weekend with out breaking through.  On the way back, the combination of me already driving across it and the deer on the back, put me right through it though.

Its not the skim ice that is important, its the fact that the lake water is cold enough to form it that is a big deal! :thumbsup:

That says to me that the first cold snap we get, that ice is gonna set up FAST!!!  ;D

Anybody have any more updates on whether or not there's any ice up north yet? it's been a little chilly here in the metro, and usually it's about 5-10 colder up by my folks place in grand rapids
