RIMainuh:
Went by Waterman's in the a.m. yesterday and there was a lone guy out there. Ice was/is good here on Bowdish. We have a lot of slush as it has been above freeze for the better part of 3 days. I'll give a report further than that if I can limp out this afternoon and Spud/Auger. Most of the snow on the ice has gone to slush so the refreeze will be funky. Keep you guys posted now that I can get my foot in an Ice Fishing boot.

RIMainuh:
NW Ice update - as of 2 pm Saturday - Bowdish has a layer of "safe" ice then a layer of about 3-4 inches of unfrozen water, then a skim of about 1 inch of new refreeze ice on top. Could not get out far enough to sink an auger as I kept breaking through the top layer of skim.  I suspect if the temps hold below freezing today and over night there might be enough to get solid but I'm going to guess with out temps getting in to single digits overnight that 3-4 inch layer of water will still not be frozen by tomorrow. I'll check tomorrow a/m. and update. Sketchy at best in my opinion...

RIMainuh:
Bowdish is tight today. a good 10-11 inches of ice and a lot of noise. same with Wilsons.

Thanks for all the updates. Similar story on my side of the state. Hoping this rain and warmer temps doesn't completely destroy it. Gunna try get out tomorrow afternoon or Wednesday morning

_Icecold_:
Checked a few places today in northern RI, ice is holding up really well. Nice and solid. Gunna get out tomorrow morning before it melts even more. Warm end of the week coming up.
