Can anyone report how thick the ice is around the Edmonton area and north? Anyone driving on any of the lakes too??

I'm not sure I would call it good, solid ice out there. There were a few spots where there was quite a bit of surface water, and spots that you could see were wet through the snow. Still at least 8" of ice under the slush though, so I dunnow...

Glad we didn't drive out there...maybe in a couple weeks, depending on the strange weather we've been having recently.
