snow and ice
Message:
hellow my fellow adventurers (crazies). I wonder if anyone would help me out with a little edumacation on ice safety. Withthis noreastern snow dropping we are getting it seems to me a lot of wieght is being put on the ice. I have been out in deeper snow draggin my slead feeling like my heart was about to blow but not this much. Is snow evenly dispersed across the ice make any difference at all? thanks for the lnfo or possibly a web site :?

I'm no expert, but the snow has never stopped me. 99% of the time the weight of the snow is spread out like you said. On a pond with 3 inches maybe I would worry about it, but most places are up to at least 6-7 if not more. As always use your best judgment but you should be fine. Plus with all the wind the snow dosen't stay on the ice long

The wieght of snow will not effect the ice strength if you are more than three inches, but snow is an insulator and over time if you have alot, can reduce some of the thickness or stunt ice making. Thats at least to my knowledge.
