Any safe ice in Northern Illinois

Hey all. I'm in NE Illinois and there's no ice to speak of here. Any safe ice North of me say like Chain of Lakes or somewhere. Thanks.

Yesterday I drove from Champaign IL to Madison WI and did not see a single pond locked up fully.  We have had a lot of warm weather for over a week now.  I would be wary of any ice even as far north as Stevens Point, although I am sure there are places that are fishable that far north.  Gonna have to keep waiting im afraid.
Fishing is a delusion entirely surrounded by liars in old clothes.

The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope.
