As the days get longer, the sun is higher in the sky, it's shining more directly on the ice, and has more time to deteriorate the ice. The warmest part of the day is lasting longer now, and colder night time temps have shortened. Things can change in a hurry.
I happened to be here on the Montana site posting something and noticed this post. I thought I might share what happened to my local pond in mass. I was on 9" of clear ice with slush on top, on Friday and then went to look at it Sunday, I was SHOCKED! I fished it 3 days in a row with 60's to low 70's without really seeing any change other than the snow ice going fast. Then another day or so it went from 9" on Friday to 0" on Sunday it was 60's to low 70's on Saturday with rain too. "Things can change in a hurry" is a perfect statement!
