Went by Candlewood in Danbury today, totally open.

I live on the Marlborough/Glastonbury line. Consider it central east of the river. Closest water to me is Marlbough Lake(private,residents only) but I stopped to see how the ice was doing as a guide to other spots.
Ice was not safe as the edges were still showing water. There was ice but it is definitely not safe.
I could see open water in the middle of pond.
Last week the lake was wide open and there were two guys fishing from yaks.
Be safe out there.

Texted with Mike G. this a.m., who said Highland is safe. He's checking on a few other locations today.

That is indeed what he said.

Thanks, Mike.

Eagerly awaiting hearing about Winchester.
