How is ice near Dows?

[logs22]

Hey everybody. I only get out on the ice once or twice a year and generally I just hit Dow’s for shiners and then access the ice from there. It’s about a 40 minute drive for me and I have off on Monday and would like to get out but thought I Would check here first to see if anyone knew how the ice was over there. My other spot is Budd lake so any intel on that ice would be much appreciated. If anyone else is off Monday and wants to hit up the hard water shoot me a PM. Ice fishing is always better with company and it would lessen my wife’s anxiety knowing I wasn’t alone (she is one of those people that thinks ice is unsafe no matter how thick). Thanks everyone, tight lines!
