Default Ice out

With higher daytime highs and nighttime lows over the upcoming week, anyone have thoughts on when we'll see ice out this spring?

Ice guys are probably loving this year. I can't wait for legit open water, but overnight lows still look to be freezing for a while. I bet we are a month away from open boat launches. I hope I am wrong.

They were ice fishing on LH at the state park last year on the 1st weekend of March. I would expect that again this year.

Thanks to those who replied. Alex, I think you're absolutely right, second week of March if not later if we have another cold stretch which is certainly possible. We had good ice last year but don't think it ever got to 14".
