What little there might be is too scary for me yet. I like to stand on at least 2 inches. I have heard reports of an inch but it drizzled today. Last year at this time I believe I was out on 3 to 4 inches and we had 6 by Christmas. Nothing like getting in a little tip-up action on Christmas eve day. Hopefully it will get down in those single digits soon.

There are a few lakes around Alexandria area with 4 to 5 inches.. Reno has 3-6 inches through out the lake.. Saw Four wheelers out there on Saturday evening. This is in central MN.

In Southeastern Minnesota I wouldn't be walking on any lakes just yet. It just hasen't been cold enough. We need some consistant days and nights in the single digits. Getting rain doesn't help any either. I have been out just because I couldn't wait any longer but I didn't feel very comfortable. In a couple places I was on an inch and a half of ice but it is ultimately up to you and how brave you are. Good fishing.

Not trying to start anything, but some people see bravey as stupidity. :lol:
I wouldn't think of going out on the ice in central/S.central MN right now. Thickness varies too much.
