Went out for a few hours yesterday with tmfldem(Dane). We started out checking ice on a private pond I have down south and the ice was around 4″ or so. We was drilling our holes when the ice cracked. After that, we had water coming through the holes whenever we would walk, so we left for safer ice! 
We ended up at a little lake in Kearney. Ice was real good, just alot of snow on it and slush. We caught lots of smaller gills and a few small crappie. We ran tip-ups and did pretty good on pike. I think we put 5 pike on the ice. Didn’t measure any but if I were to guess, they were anywhere from 25-36″. Lost a couple of better pike. Action was fast for awhile as we had around 8-10 flags go in about 30 or so minutes. Hope the weather stays cool so I can make it out next weekend.
