Small lake, ice froze safe crazy fast!

 I checked a small private lake (28 acres) on Sunday during the rain. It was mostly open with the exception of skim around the bank. I checked it an hour ago and it has 4.690 in 30' from the bank and 3.610 in the center in 19 FOW neg. temps are awesome!  But a pond that had 3.200 Sunday only has 5.062!
