It may be over in my opinion but I won’t know anything til next weekend. If you guys get out during the week please post your observations here. We gotta keep people safe! Winter swimming sucks, LOL!!!
yeah that's my thoughts pretty much...february onward isn't great for making ice...it can hold ice, but who knows what will be left after all this warmth, rain, AND wind. We had 8inches too, but it was pretty soft already mostly...not looking good for ice fishing and the worst part is the ice will still be there so you won't be able to fish most spots with a boat either!

another teabagging from good ol' mother nature, thanks!
