It was fine yesterday morning then was getting soft before noon. Then 10cm this morning warm and rain tonight cool down tomorrow. Ice was 2 to 4.5 at most . Mostly white soft ice.

Never mind the beach the north is way nicer lol. I deal with the snow in the south so this will be it till spring . Come on March break lol.

Problem is most of the small lakes in the area just skimmed over and then 4-6 inches of snow fell on Saturday. Time will tell but it's not a good start.
