Ice? Thickness?

by iluvswnd , Posted to Fishing Buddy on 12/02/2009 7:50 PM \| "Quote" \| "Quick Reply" \|
iluvswnd Joined: 11/09/2004 Location: Sa	Just wondering what everyone is seeing in ice formation with the cold snap we finally got. SW part of the state I'm noticing ice on top of all the smaller dams and narrow parts of the heart river. What are you guys seeing in your neck of the woods?

simmsjs Joined: 01/08/2004 Location: ND	Yesterday I drove to Bismarck and only saw a few sloughs with ice. Today on the way home I noticed Crystal Springs was 3/4 covered with ice. I am not sure I would trust ice by this weekend but by the 12th. I think I will head out the 12th and 13th to the res in Jamestown.

I am going to go out after the wife makes dinner and see whats up. Larimore is supposed to have the gates locked untill they get 10 inches is what I was told which is straight bull. If the ice isnt thick enough this weekend I am going to got to MSP to the ice fishing show.
