Default Gull Lake ice thickness

I'm heading out to gull tomorrow near brownlows and wondering how thick the ice is as of lately, I have a power auger that can drill up to 36 inches and a hand auger incase the power auger doesn't start because of the cold
Thanks

NC

Careful -- there's a pressure ridge about 2/3 across the lake, going from the west side to the east side. Back end of the truck went through on the 4th. Luckily we had a 4 x 4, but I was nervous in the 4 x 2 on the same trip!
