North jersey ice report

[UglyStick]

I'm in the eastern part of Sussex county and the majority of the lakes I've seen in the past 2 days are mostly skimmed with ice. For example, I live on a 15 acre private lake and it is 98% skimmed right now - air temp was 12 degrees when I went out this morning. As Eddie mentioned, you should be able to break through it. One side note is that you may need to do a little looking around as I've found at this stage up here you can have almost no ice on one lake and down the road have a lake with more ice than you care to deal with. Larger and deeper lakes should have less/thinner ice still.
