![a man sitting on a boat in the water: Average temperatures in Des Moines have been about six degrees warmer for the month of January, according to Local 5 meteorologist Taylor Kanost.
With the warmer temperatures, it has impacted how often a metro man has been able to go ice fishing this winter season.
Iowa DNR Conservation Officer Aron Arthur drilled a hole into the ice at Terra Lake Thursday and discovered at one location a little over nine inches thick.
However, checking one location on a lake is not an indicator for how thick all of the ice is.
The DNR requires ice four inches thick to safely be able to ice fish.
Larry Gilliam, who has been ice fishing for decades, said the conditions Thursday were perfect for his hobby. He has gone ice fishing fewer times at this point in the winter season, compared to past winter seasons.
"So I haven't [gone] out that many times," Gilliam said. "I'd say about six times."

![a close up of Kim Reynolds: Gov. Kim Reynolds will update Iowans on the state's response to the COVID-19 pandemic at 11 a.m. Thursday from the Iowa PBS Studio in Johnston.
As of 10 a.m. Thursday:
—5,438 Iowans have died of the virus, a 24-hour increase of 23
—334,758 Iowans have tested positive, a 24-hour increase of 652
—150,538 individuals have completed the vaccine series in Iowa; 604,483 total doses have been administered
—The 7-day test positive rate is 4.1% and the 14-day test positivity rate is 4.2%
On Feb. 17, Reynolds announced the state would no longer pursue a centralized system for scheduling vaccine appointments.
"It quickly became apparent that integrating the many already-existing registration and scheduling platforms that are used by some of our public health departments, pharmacies, as well as other vaccine providers, [that] it would not be possible in a timely manner without significant disruption to their current systems," Reynolds said.
The statewide 2-1-1 call center can answer questions about the vaccine or direct Iowans to local resources, but cannot set up vaccine appointments.
