16"-18" where I have been fishing in SW Iowa. It is warm and today and expected to be for the next few so we may lose a little.

24" over 130 FOW here on Lake Simcoe, Ontario...thickest I've seen in years..might be the first year I need to get an extension for my auger.

that's what simcoe is at right now? haven't fished simcoe in a couple weeks. might have to get an extension made for my hand auger.

Lake Simcoe , main lake is 18 inches of clear ice yesterday. Add 10 to 20 inches of snow depending on where you are standing and thats deep enough for this year ! If the winter was another 6 or 8 weeks longer we may need an extension on the gas augers. LOL The snow has gotten deep up here this year. A snowmobile paradise.
