west side of twin today had pockets of thinner ice with 4 inches of water, other spots were white ice and a bit thicker but inconsistent. east side had varying ice between 6 and 4 inches with areas of about 3 inches, with very clear gorgeous ice but a half inch of water atop, so clear you could sight fish. McGregor was fishable but the gap at the north dam was open considerably, but fishing near the launch more accessible. if this warm and dry wind keeps going for two more weeks as predicted I would recommend bringing a long rod just in case. if you are new to ice fishing, now is the time to see how ice forms and how odd it can be within yards.
