We had a bit of near 0 degree's but it immediatly dumped a layer of snow and the swamps and waterways are perilous, we went checking the ice towards Kokhanok Bay yesterday and 50' from 7" of ice it was 3/4",, I was able to water (ice) skip 1/2 mile to solid ground but my brother in law & sil went through and lost their machines in pretty deep water. I had a sat phone and was in contact with rescue service's when they eased over 200yds of bad ice to land. Machine retrieval when it freezes good enough and the thawing and drying process begins!
