Well I took a drive out their today to Newton and there was about 20 ft of open water around the edges depending on where you were at. The ice in the middle is has to be pretty thick still. I am no expert but I think the max 2 weeks and it will be gone.

With the weather forecast for the next week i'd say LORDCRAPPIE was very close with his guess on 2 weeks ice-free. I drove by there a few days ago and wouldn't try to get on the ice but i've seen crazier things!

Speaking of crazier things, when I was a teenager we used a canoe to get on the ice a few times at Newton. I don't think in my adult life I have ever wanted to ice fish that bad!

Check out my Newton post. No open water, but about 15' of soft edge.
