A boy tests the ice on the pond at Lions Park. Ice on most area lakes is still considered too thin to walk on.
While the unusually warm weather this week was an opportunity for people to be outside, it delayed the start of winter activities such as ice fishing.
The above-freezing days are slowing the speed that ice forms on local lakes and ponds, pushing back when people can take to the ice.
The cooler nights helped keep the ice already on the lakes from melting, despite temperatures rising to an unusually warm 50 degrees this week. The problem is that new ice doesnât form during these warmer periods.
