two weeks with temps in the 20s and one week colder, lakes/ponds were frozen.  

So I dig out the sled, auger, and spend two days looking for rods and tip ups!   found them.

Well yesterday it started at 0 oF and was 50 oF by 4 pm.  Today another bright 50 oF.

Can't win! no ice fishing for a week or two, maybe.

If you had good ice before you will still have ice to fish on only after a day of sun.
We have fished in 60* and still have 24" of ice...
That said, you have to check it as you go out.

I'd make sure before I went out on the ice. The water under the ice is a little colder than I want to swim in. 

Just my opinion.
