I got on the Ompompanoosuc River at the boat launch off of 132.  Beautiful black ice up stream to the interstate bridge.  The Ct is great from just North of Gilman's Island where there are thin spots that are hard to read then down to Wilson's landing.  Light winds out of the NW.  Snow tonight will make the ice hard to read.

The CT River was a very nice skate as Rich described. Two of us did a couple of laps around Lake Morey on beautiful thick black ice with one inch drifted snow. The we drove south along Route 5 pasted nice looking ice and plenty of open water. We crossed over the new bridge, which had patches of open water on both sides. Once we got to Wilson’s landing, everything was caught with 4”-5” black ice. A video is attached showing the current under the ice on a wide section of the river, which is sure to increase exponentially around curves and tight spots as Evan mentioned .

Happy skating!
