Smart money??
Conditions on the lake are highly variable this year. Some bays are well locked in and have seen ample activity (Alton Bay, 19 Mile Bay to name two). I've heard reports of 10" or more of ice. More protected areas have been able to build more ice. Less protected areas, including the larger parts of the lake have not. That's the whole issue.
But that doesn't mean everyone should stay off the ice everywhere. It means you need to be cautious and prepared and know the conditions where you are. Common sense, really.
