Lundtastic Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 Marina inside area is frozen. Between breakwalls is also frozen. THere is open water near the entrance to the canal. Don't have the thickness. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigugli Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 We just got off a little honey hole. 4" of soft white ice, not what I consider good for walking on. We just stood on the dock and punched holes beside it. Just remember, with early ice, spud and step. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smerchly Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 kiss it all goodbye this weekend I'm hoping the rain will melt most of the snow on the ice and we will soon be back into cold temperatures again which could quickly add a couple more inches to the ice . ......before the fat guy in the red suit appears .

Buckshot Posted December 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 Ice report from last night ..... These are only my own "opinions" ... Sugarloaf - decent ice forming with shuv ice up against docks but has some wet spots didnt not walk on to test ..... Rec .... Just a mess with white garbage ice .... Depends on amount of rainfall we receive I am thinking it could be pretty rough shape afterwards ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
