We've been getting a lot of calls at the shop from people looking for ice reports. Here's what I know, so far.
Generally, things are pretty good out there. We're hearing 6 to 10 inches of ice, north of Gladstone. No problems for quads and sleds. Haven't heard much for pressure cracks anywhere, just yet, (if anyone reading this knows of any, please update this posting.)
South of Gladstone, the oldest ice extended as far as the Gladstone harbor. From there, up to the narrows I've found 4 to 7 inches of ice.
The bay south of the Gladstone harbor froze at least as far as the Escanaba River, Sunday and Monday night. With the snow we got last night, the new unsafe ice is hard to tell apart from the safer ice. I wouldn't recommend heading south of Gladstone just yet.
