Snowmobile traffic

A number of machines on the ice yesterday. There are still areas of slush, especially around cracks that are bleeding water.

Slush continues

Some areas around the shore have 12" of ice and are solid for snowmobiles. But, there are some major patches of slush hidden under the snow when out a further distance from shore. This is probably why no snowmobiles have been seen on the lake.
Many moose tracks along the new road and extending to maple hill.

Slush

Underneath the 4" of snow is 2" of slush. The exposed ice is solid on the rink.

Clarke Rd is plowed from the top of maple hill, past Africa Tr. down to the lower cottages on Clarke Rd.

Oval rink

Oval skating rink has been cleared of snow. Several soft areas are 'bleeding' water. Snow depth on lake 4".

Several drifts approximating 2 ' on the causeway. The causeway is usual susceptible to drifts with light winds.

No signs of snowmobiles on the lake.

Many moose tracks around Africa Trail and Guest Rd. intersection several days ago. One moose has travelled on the island today.
