North Central Ice

[Golden Hour]

Just curious if the past couple days have relieved the ice coating on everything in that area. Was out in Dewey County hunting deer and there was a half inch of ice on everything and I know some places got it worse. I'm optimistic that the sunshine and 30+ degree temps are unlocking some of the places the ice sealed up, but a local report would be awesome.

As of Monday night it was unchanged. It was 30+ and sunny mid-day and I expected to see more ice melting off the cover, but was not happening. Guessing maybe ground still too cold - not sure. Hoping by the end of the weekend it clears up.

The good news is it did not seem to hurt the birds - still plenty of them and they were packed with corn. Tough hunting though - loud to walk through, hard on dog paws, treacherous driving, and even getting out of the truck is tricky.

I talked to someone near Ipswich 2-3 days ago and they said it was melting fast at that time

There is still plenty of ice here now but the next few days should help.

No idea, as I haven't been up in that area. But if it gets warm enough, long enough, in theory it should melt. No ice down here.

That's a big help, thanks.
