The entire lake is iced over but I am not sure how safe it is, especially toward the deeper areas and around the bigger brooks. The woman at the store in Westmore said there was open water near where Mill Brook comes in a few days ago, so I would avoid that area. The northern part of the lake north of the launch has between 8 and 12" or so. It's excruciatingly cold and windy here today, so if you don't have a shack with a heater, I wouldn't even bother. We have both, and I am not even sure how long we'll make it. Lots of blowing snow too, so tip ups are going to be impossible to use unless you have the kind that covers up the hole. Tomorrow (Sat) will be nicer.
