There has to be. Most likely in the Berksires, altitude is everything early in the season. I fished on over 3" in CT on Friday...

I was on barely safe ice yesterday near Norton. Doubt it'll be safe today though. Head west. I'm looking for a place that way to fish tomorrow.

Central MA like Sargents pond and ceder Meadow have 2-4 inches on them...in spots its thinner but if you stay on the clear white ice your fine.  checked around 12 today.

Define safe.  If you read the posts you will see that there are many interpretations of safe.  We have a whole season ahead of us and it's just around the corner.  I'd hate to hear about a fellow coconut on the nightly news.
