Doug, the ice is safe on the large area that froze about 9 days ago. It should have enough snow cover after yesterday. There is a transition area on the north side between the old ice and the new ice about 50 yards off shore. There is a 20'-40' wide area where pieces of broken ice have frozen side ways and the sharp points stick up through the snow. Nasty area, would not want to fall there or drop a kite on it. I didn't check any of the other sides, but it is possible the same condidions exist around the entire lake. Hope to see you out there.
