I feel for you guys
... Went out and checked my pond 1/2 hour ago: It's Still ON in NW OHIO!!!!
After close to an 1" of rain, wind and +50 degree temps all day yesterday, I spudded 8 holes and found 5 to 7" of ice. Had to step over the edge where it had pulled back a little. Temps this week are not to get above low 40's during day and down into the 20's at night. I will be back on the ice THIS WEEKEND. Just be careful: spud your way out, go with a buddy, have a throw rope, ice picks and ice cleats( no snow left on ice and is smooth and slick).
No Ice is Safe Ice and ice that has re-froze is not as strong as new ice...
Tight Lines....
