The ice on area lakes is breaking up and dangerous to venture out on.  We have the following information on specific lakes:

Birch Lake: covered in white ice and will be a bit yet before it breaks up.

Quartz: mostly ice free although there is still some ice here and there, including in front of the main boat launch. The older boat launch is free of ice, although very shallow.

Little Lost Lake: 100% ice free

Shaw Pond: 100% ice free, but low

Little Harding: Covered but ice is dark and looks pretty candled.

Fairbanks/North Pole Ponds: All pretty much locked up.
