My question is, how much snow is on the ice. If the lakes region got 5 to 6 inches of snow, is it going to present an insuation problem now? ^ inches of snow on 1 inch of ice is not generally a good recipe for strong ice. Some of the cams look as though the ice was watery enough to suck up a lot of that snow. Is that the case or am I looking at 5 inches of snow on the ice????
