I saw a post from an ice sailor who had a fabulous day on “endless black ice” at Hero & Sandbar. Now I can’t find the post. Pretty sure he was out there today. Can anyone up that way confirm?
Fingers crossed! 
Thank you,

From WebCams, it looked like that whole area got hit with snow squalls which stuck to the ice  "at above freezing temps " according to the heros welcome WebCam at around four or so.

The ice on the north side of the sandbar was good for skating today and a few people were out skating. There were patches of soft ice from the rain that fell last night and hadn’t frozen solid yet. It was easy to skate through these as the ice underneath was solid. An ice fisherman said the ice is at least 7” thick right now.
