    Ip in the Gaylord area they’re hoping another week or two the hard stuff will be gone.

    The only thing open is Fletcher's. I was just out for a ride, Crooked, Burt, Mullet and Charlevoix still stiff. Charlevoix is looking like it'll open in the next few days.

    Lots of lakes are very close to being open around here in TC. Both bays are wide open now. Hopefully the snow coming tonight will sink the ice and then get some wind to bust it all up.

    I was up in Cadillac this past weekend...Everything that I saw in that area is wide open...I would have put my boat in for its spring check out but 30 mph winds and freezing temps had me sitting in the cottage...We got about 6 to 8 inches of Snow Sunday...

    How's Duck and Green look ice wise? Think it will be ice free by the last weekend in April?

    Yep...If it isnt already...Like I said Cadillac and Mitchell were wide open and Duck and Green isnt that far North..
    Its suppose to be warm rain all week with highs in the 60s by the weekend up north...that should pretty much open everything up..

    Most lakes up to petoskey are open.

    Check this site daily for satellite images. https://coastwatch.glerl.noaa.gov/modis/region_map.html

    My lake keeps screwing around and won't bust up , but all the big lakes and bay are open around me .

    Burt and Mullett still have ice but it's starting to soften up and break up. Some open water on both. Crooked and Pickerel starting to open up as of today pretty good. Same with Black, not sure on Douglas. Last week Black River still had ice cover but I think it's opened up now and Cheboygan River is cleared up from the ice in the bays finally.
