With 4 consecutive days above freezing, warm overnight temps and 50° sunshine with 15mph winds. You guys trust driving ATV across, as long as my launch is still holding up? I’m on the east side and drive to little lake. Yesterday there was .5″ water on top, blowing around. Large puddles

Not specific to this lake, but I also am curious about metro area ice conditions this up coming weekend.
I promised my nephew I’d take him out for his first ice fishing experience. We plan to fish a twin cities metro/western suburb lake Saturday morning.
I’m sure it will be very wet – but I assume overall ice is still very fishable? We’ll be walking to our spots from the access, so no vehicle or ATV.
Any thoughts?
Walking will be fine as long as you can get on
Walking I would not worry about, I haven’t been on anything metro this year but there is no way we don’t have safe enough ice to walk on. Drove by Knife last night on my way home from Grand Rapids and the access looked iffy but watched a Tacoma come off it. There has still got to be plenty of ice out there just the accesses are going to be the issue soon if it stays warm.
I drove on a small metro lake last night. Still had over 2’ of ice. I would probably walk this weekend.
