KA-1 reports on Tuesday 11/25 that Swede is still locked in. He drilled out to 200 yards from the launch site and found 3-4", no snow on it. He plans to sail it on Wednesday AM with at least one other DN and will report back.

UPDATE:
As of noon Wed. 11/26, Mike and John have sailed the northern half of the lake. They report 3-4" over most of the lake. No holes. So far so good...

UPDATE #2 (Wed. evening)
5369 reports...
"I stopped by Swede at 2:30PM or so and both KA1 and KA2 were zipping around the lake.I took John's for a few laps and moved out great.

Covered the entire lake except for the NW corner where the small island is. I recall some weak spots in that vicinity, so stayed away. Ice is 3-4 inches and the only wet spot is right in front of the landing where Mike parked his trailer!
I would rate it a 9!
Smooth black and grey ice with a few pebble spots. No snow cover at all. The sun is so low in the sky that it did not soften the ice at all. No known hazards.

The Aussies left the boats parked and intend to get a Turkey morning sail in and maybe late afternoon also. Wind forecast to build from sunrise to 15-20MPH with chance of snow flurries.
I plan to sail some in morning - Mike".

I too will be there circa 9 am Thursday.
