funny thing is that some ponds that had snow cover may not have lost as much ice as some feared. That COULD mean that in some cases (and places) that the base ice was minimally impacted by the rain.

I had fished a pond in Wayland last weekend on 4-6" under 1-2" of frozen slush. When I checked it last night I couldn't get out due to shore melting from rain run off.

Another pond I checked last weekend in Westwood had 3-4" of ice under a crusted coating of snow/slush and when I checked last night it had 4" of clear ice right to the shore.

So the operative phrase this weekend will be "Location, location location!!!"

Just be safe if you venture out!

I am a legend in my own mind!
