Default beaver mines/butcher ice?

Just wondering if anyone has any recent ice condition reports for either beaver mines or butcher lake? Thanks!

Butcher was black and slushy lookin on Thursday.. There was a good sized 4'ish hole just off the shore...
Beaver Mines had slush along the shore a couple weeks ago.. The little creek that you drive by before you hit the first day use area was flowing into the lake openly for about 20-30'.. There was thin ice signs all along the shore..
Beauvais had the thin ice signs out too around the same time frame..

Beauvais only has 6" left in spots, most we measured was 7" and it was very very soft, less near shore so be careful. Only posting as there is a safety hazard on many lakes right now as there was some open water only a few days ago. Be safe and use your heads!

About 7-9" on Beauvais yesterday, very thin in places near the shore. Lots of movement of the water that we could see underneath the clear ice on the north end. I'd say it's going "fast" with plus single digits again today and forecast all week.
