Early reports (as of yesterday) show maybe 2" of ice? More in some areas, I'm sure, but (and this is the important thing!) LESS in others!

With sub-freezing temps forecast for the entire week, I think there will be some safe ice (not that ANY ice is "safe ice", tbh! ) by middle to end of the week?

There might be some who venture out sooner , but...I'd be inclined to wait. Heck, I'm not even going to go out and check, but...that has more to do with my schedule this week than anything else.

MAYBE I'll go out this coming weekend? But...I might be headed to WI for a few days so that would keep me off the ice down here.

I'm struggling to get too excited about it, too, cuz...the fish at Smithville have been so reluctant lately. It's like...what's the point?!
