I think you are right about the weather. With the metro being mostly above freezing and sunny after Tuesday I think the ice will get weak fast. I am done driving the truck out for sure. Not sure about the ATV.
Orandausa Yes I am thinking there will be a lot of water on top of the ice by this weekend. The high temps after today for Park Rapids area are in the 40’s with the lows just below freezing. I am not a great fan of standing in water while ice fishing

18″s of ice on white bear lake,good solid white/clear ice might be awhile before we’ll drill up ice cubes popping holes,some of the best panfishing occures when surface water siphon’s down the hole,me wearing a t-shirt catching rays,fun times ahead.
