Born in Smiths Mill is free of ice.  I would say Madison is 50% and rapidly decreasing!

German has some serious open water forming in the middle, and Romehildts is looking very very rough open water around the whole lake with just some ice in the middle.

South side of German still has walkable ice atleat 6 inchs of soild ice. I would NOT recommend ice fishing! waves are moving under the ice and it wont last long. Also east side of frances has some big big sheets of floating ice.
