We got to Yuba about 10:00, and had to walk the plank...
Water is open for about 5' to 6' around the edge at the dam end at 10:00 and got worse as the day went on, water all over the ice...
The ice was 12" to 14" 4 days ago at the dam side and 16" to 18" at painted rocks side, now at the dam end it is about 6" and some open holes (that was not drilled)...
By the time we left at 2:00 people was getting wet when trying to cross from the ice to shore...And with the warm wind and rain and temp in the high 30 to low 40 it may not be safe if we don't get below freezing soon...Tonight they say it will only get down to 35 for a low at Yuba...
