I have been all over doing snow removal.... Grand Blanc Flint Burton and Davison seem to have gotten around 8-12..... Home in birch run had at least 10 when I left home at 10 pm so I'm guessing 12+ there

We have about 6-8" on the ground. Mona lake froze over in about 70% of the lake - areas not frozen were hit by wind. Unfortunately as some have mentioned, the 4" of snow yesterday will delay ice from expanding very fast, and with 32 -36 this weekend will also slow process. I did not walk down to check ice - know not enough ice for me yet.

Funniest thing about ice fishing for me is when people who know nothing about ice activities try to warn me about the dangers of the ice...

If the weatherman is right, all that snow might just end up protecting what ice we do have, during the warmup/rain we have forecasted for the upcoming late weekend/early week.

We got 8". A good majority of it is sitting on top of a lake that had just locked up the morning of the storm. Not cool

Well here's what 8 inches of snow turned into on less than an inch of ice... Better than just sitting on top insulating it...

Interesting picture. I'm hoping that's what's happening on a lot of lakes.

I looked at our lake today. A lot of wet spots all over the lake. There was a  lot of open spots a week or so ago. it will be a long time before I hit the lake.
