Well, as of saturday west lake was almost completely open water. But, with this weather, in a week and a half or so they will have super good ice in southern iowa. SOme places on west had a skim already, so they may get it a little earlier. Acutally, I am glad they were open...that way it will ice hard and good ice rather than that snow/slush covered insulated ice that can be a little more iffy.
