Big Round Lake iced over last night. The ice is roughly 1.5 inches on the north side. I watched a doe run out to the middle of the lake around 10:00 am. Unfortunately she fell through right in the middle of the lake. She struggled for close to 4 hours before calling it quits. Unfortunately she was too far from any shore for any kind of rescue with a boat. A hovercraft would have been needed.

With the predicted rain on Sunday I think it may be a while before the ice is safe.

Yep, some guys are fishing on a local lake (Marshmiller in Chippewa county). I checked the ice and it looked like there was a good 3 inches. Some probably have only a skim, or are maybe even partially open. Unfortunately, rain, and a high of 47 on Monday are going to take care of what we have.
