[QUOTE="wjschmaltz, post: 251637, member: 6150"] Serious question because I'm a far ways away and haven't drilled a hole - is the ice really that thick? Less than two months ago there were conversations about open water on Sak and the river being open through Bismarck. And then it got a little cold and dumped snow on top of snow on top of snow and then finally the brutal cold moved in. Seems like the ice should have been very well insulated before the real cold hit. I'm sure guys that are commenting on thickness have first hand experience drilling holes but it seems like from the outside looking in that it would be a less than average ice year (when we used to be driving on the ice no problem by Christmas and it was cold as hell from Thanksgiving to March 1). Just curious. Regardless, hopefully it's a slow melt and not the disaster that was breakup 10 years ago where we had 100 inches of snow melt in 6 hours. [/QUOTE]
