How thick’s the ice, are people driving on the lakes yet? Sleds, trucks?

I drilled a hole in my pond a couple weeks ago and it was only 4 inches.

Saw the first truck out on Wabamun on Sunday.... Pop up ice shacks and fishermen have been out for a couple weeks now but that was the first truck I've seen

Dad was at the lake lot Saturday. Sent photo of lots of tents and such on the ice in town.

First truck I saw from my house was Sunday.... I didn't go looking......lol
Dad was just over checking on the lake lot., foot prints, ensuring things are still locked etc......

I got an ice tent now, will look for a good deal on an auger in the coming week and hopefully go do some drinking on the ice with a fishing rod in my hand.
