Yesterday someone told me it was like all the other local lakes:  top ice you could break through into couple inches sluch over very thick ice.  I would expect it to be good tomorrow, having had more time to freeze through, although it's possible the ATVs and trucks tracked it up so much you'll be dodging that.  I recommend Goose Pond as an alternative, or one of the others mentioned in Matt's report to this list yesterday.  Let us know what you find wherever you go.

I had checked out Wrightsville Resevior, two days ago and there was a bunch of snow on it, today it was mostly ice, with a rough orange peel surface across much of it, but a pretty nice smooth sidewalk around the edge. The reservoir had dropped 3 feet so it’s a little tricky getting in, but I was able to drive down to the boat launch, and it was pretty good there. I went most of the way to the dam and north towards the beach, but it was dark by the time I got there with skates. The picture with the sunset is when I was scouting it in the picture in the dark is when I was skating it with my daughter, the “sidewalk” along the lake that was about 4 to 6 feet wide. I’ll also include a picture of the ice surface, which was OK for me to skate, but not as nice as the sidewalk, which was quite smooth

more in the middle.
