Certainly won't be March 5th. Take a look at the forcasted lows for that night! Though it will warm up after that.

The ice actually grew a bit in areas this week given the cold nights. But I'm sure the warmer temperatures underneath are still eating away at things. Overall, a net no change.

It'll be interesting to see how the snow layer affects things. On one hand, it seems it will provide insulation that will allow the warmer water below to eat away at the ice faster. But on the other, it will stop the sun from heating up the water through the ice on sunny days.
