I walked out at Potters this morning, only about an inch and a half, was first on the ice at 6:00am with a couple other guys. Walked out the travelled path to be safe but ended up going in and almost right under at the mid way point across the bay. Thank god my cousin was with me or I might not be posting. We told everyone preparing in the parking lot to forget about it as it seemed to have lost a couple inches over night. A few people ventured out and ended up coming back the majority kept going and actually started fishing. Never ever been so scared in my life. I am not chancing it anymore. I have been warmed by people before and still went out like many of us do, but today scared me bad. I can not believe people are actually out there. I was out Fri morning and Fri night and the ice was thin, but ok. This morning it was all gone. Dont risk it folks, couple cold days this week and should be ok bylater next week.
