We've got ice around Tupper Lake, but it's a further drive. Check with locals on where it will be safe.

yes would definitely recommend, especially if you're going anywhere that has any current, to not stray off the beaten path at all with your snowmobile. there has been more than a couple machines through the ice that aren't mentioned in the links posted above

Mile arm bay on Black Lake had 12" of ice this past Saturday. About 3.5 hrs drive.

I've read that the north end of Conesus has at least 4-5 inches as of Monday. I'll be taking a look this Sunday.
