That, or some very adventurous ice fishermen were out already. people who ice fish are a strange lot.
(I wouldn’t trust the ice this early in the year with my worst enemy- mostly because they could probably break out on the way back up. shhhh)
Comment on Why are there circles of melted snow on this icy pond?

I’m not a hydrologist, but I suspect it’s due to areas of upwelling warmer water. Alternatively, the ice could have formed, but these spots are where the surface was too unstable to permit that (wind?)

Yep, this is it. The ice is thinner in those areas, allowing more heat to reach the surface
