Overnight low -9C, daytime high of 4C.
What a great day. Mostly sunny with light, swirly clouds throughout the day. The lake is showing a few wet patches, so I didn't venture out. Gilligan Lake looked great though.
After drilling a few test holes, I felt confident enough to strap on the skates. The ice was in perfect condition. Though a light 1/2" coating of snow on top was enough of a deterrent to take be extremely cautious, after a few laps I ventured out further and further. Everywhere I drilled, it was about the same thickness (approx. 3.5"). By the end, I had not concerns about skating anywhere except the inflow and outflow areas of the lake. Just need a stick and a puck now :)
