    Nothing down here, unless it is a deep cliff setting small spot. Then maybe only a skiff but not covering the whole surface.

    Park rapids area has up to 4″ on some targeted shallow lakes. Deeper lakes are just starting to get a nice layer.

    1/2″ or less in the Bay Point Marina in Red Wing. River level is up about 1′-2′. Last year I was ice fishing & catching gills & crappies in the same area!
