Sun was out for a few hours today,first time in a long time. The 6" block of ice I cut from North side of Island-it froze up Nov 24th. The 4.25" block was from South side of Island-this area froze Nov 28th.A friend from Welcome Channel area called this morning to say the Manitou froze overnight-he could not see any open water! Bigstone is still open water.Hard to tell but could still be open around Bunn Island. There is no snow on the ice,The rain over the weekend melted the little bit we had,since then we have had a dusting but winds have blown this to shorelines.
