Yes I can speak from my own experience to stay away from the aerators. One time I was walking just west of Dodges drilling holes. I thought I was far enough away from the open water. I drilled a hole and there was only about 4" of ice under me, good thing I wasn't driving. When the wind blows hard it doesn't take long to erode the ice.
30+ inches! I'm not sure how much ice my Eskimo Stingray can handle w/o an extension. I'll be there in a week and will find out, I guess, but has anyone actually measured? If I need to get quick extension, I better be looking now!
The guy at the bait shop said 15", but all in our party thought it was well over. Somewhere around 25", give or take some. We didn't need an extension, but on that first hole I was wondering after expecting 15. Finally went thru though. The locals would know for sure.
Can some locals shed light on the snow situation please. How much slush etc...
