Still going to be a below average weeks so I suspect driving on most Central lakes should not be an issue come the weekend.

Game on!
An old neighbor of mine works with a co. that builds the ice roads in the north and he told me that once the lake is ice shore to shore it will grow 1 inch every 24 hours as long as the temp is below 0 no matter if 10 below or 20 it grows 1 inch per 24.
