Hi All interested in ice conditions here at the island....Yes, this means we are living out here (lucky us)! Father Nuke made multiple ATV trips today and conditions are good tight ice. The only thing to watch for are ice rift pieces that have been frozen in a vertical postion. Daylight is important to see any hazards and more cautious speeds allow course revisions more quickly. There are rifts on all sides of the island (happens every year) so just look around. The wind has blown snow into some drifts and left bare patches all over the Broads area and both sides of Rattlesnake.

When walking, caution is even more important (cleats help,too).... Any area can change condition in a few hours time. The ice moves and flexes. That said, the days and nights of cold have produced some good ice....particularly for Derby weekend! Enjoy!
