Everything I've seen is saying 1-3(a little further north) I'm all for a white Christmas, but I also asked Santa for good ice... Guess we'll just have to cross our fingers and hope for only an inch.
Funniest thing about ice fishing for me is when people who know nothing about ice activities try to warn me about the dangers of the ice...

Right around an 1" due here over the course of a couple days - shouldn't hurt things much with the single digit temps coming along wit it.

If it's real cold, the snow should just blow around. I don't think an inch or 2 will make much difference. Nothing makes the ice safer than if you can't see thru it..

I'm thinking the same.it will be so cold and the snow will be light and fluffy  and blow right off the lakes.

I'm with you Doc...a little snow on the ice will help with traction too.

We got about 4 inches the other night and it was wet sticky stuff. Now the temps have dropped but I am afraid that snowe may have screwed things up again. But the good news is the lakes had a lot of water on top before the last freeze so maybe there is enough ice under it. I checked on small lake thur and it had about 6 inches of ice but I did not wander much on it as I was in a hurry

NWS just upped the snow forecast here in the SW Mich snow belt. 7 plus inches in the next 48 hours. Another concern is 30+ mph winds for part of that. Any lake not firmly skimmed over may get broken up before the real cold gets here. Be very careful put there next week.

Can't catch a break this season so far. Of course the super cold temps have to coincide with significant snow fall.

We have received a huge amount of accumulation totaling more than 1/16 of an inch!!! Not sure if Santa will be able to drop gifts off today.
It’s 18 degrees now and not snowing a bit.

1/4 of an inch and 20 degrees.
I hope the forecast is off target and 3/5 turns into an inch of less.
lakes are just starting to shape up.

It let up real fine now, hope it’s about over. Not good 3-4” snow on 2” ice !!  Although the 10 day forecast is great !!

At South Lansing I have about 1.5" so far.  But another 2" forecast for tomorrow.  The good news is, it might hit 15 tonight.  The forecast is 19 tonight, but I'm already down to 18, at 8:00PM.
I'll go try local Crego and maybe Muskrat tomorrow.  The forecast is awesome!  https://www.wunderground.com/forecast/us/mi/lansing?cm_ven=localwx_10day

I just checked the winds all over the western part of the state. Dead calm winds will not be blowing any snow around.

My grand daughter got held up in Detroit flying home for Christmas from AZ by snow plows on the run way. She is finally in the air. She will probably be glad to get back to AZ with the forecast temps next week. Her year teaching school out there starts around the 4th of July because of the heat.
