Checked it today and about 1.5 inches with heavy snowpack. It may be ready in a week. This lake holds some nice size bluegills but smaller bass.

Weight of the snow melted the ice. That's ok though, the cold temps will refreeze it better this week into the weekend.

Never seen ice melt like that even with snowpack. Maybe the winds or the warmer temps but both lakes were open water.

I saw it on Berlin once. The weight of the snow forced water up on the thin ice and the water combined with the snow melted the ice. Normally it gets cold and the water refreezes and makes superthick ice fairly quickly, but if it doesn't get cold enough fast enough it can melt everything off and you have to start over.

Went down today and 1.5 of clear hard ice. Wandered out into three foot of water and caught some rinky dink size bluegills so just threw them back. I see two springs out there in the middle where all the birds were hanging out in the open water sections.

Four inches of clear ice with a trace of snow on top it is set to go. Just watch the middle still open water has to be a spring out there.

Went to medina lake today. The crappie bite was good. Left with 8 keepers. One was 12". Try using chartreuse or white power grubs and twister tails 2' under a bobber. Tip with crappie nuggets. Good luck.
