Re: [flyfish03] Chesterfield ice? In reply to
If you don't get any first hand reports, here is what the satellite could see on the 12th. Two days old, but it is a higher resolution picture than yesterday's. The darker the color the more open the water. Looks like it is breaking up and upper is open. There might be water open around the edges too. Can't really tell that from the sat. picture, but I would guess that it is getting melted enough that there should be open edge especially where any of the creeks come in.
By contrast AF is fully open, and Blackfoot only has a couple of places where the water is beginning to open. You have to really know where Blackfoot Res is to even spot some of it getting melted. edit....I cropped this picture too close to see anything but the tip of Blackfoot Res...so never mind.
Here is where the picture is from: http://activefiremaps.fs.fed.us/...p=fire&passID=258775
from here I think
