So central nd is looking at 8-14 inches of snow, will this lead to bad ice since lakes are not frozen yet?

I havent seen water to know if lakes are even froze over to hold snow. Maybe deeper water is still open? Im hoping we get high winds to blow snow off.

Has anyone seen any lakes with skim ice? Won't be an issue with open water

I was worried it will lead to slush on top of lake that might freeze into a bad ice but I have no idea

Some smaller lakes in central ND are iced over. With the wind most of the snow will slide right off I'd assume.

Audobon, Brekken, east sak, and scooby lake were all still open. Way back on nelson bay there was about 100 yards of ice. All the little sloughs were froze over. Hopefully this wind keeps them open until after the snowfall

I'll be happy to have the moisture and glad the lakes aren't iced over yet or the snow could really hamper ice development.

Hopefully I'll be eating leftover turkey sandwiches whilst ice fishing in a couple of weeks.
