Can someone tell me how much snow is on the ice between Trenton and Potters? Is it patches of hard pack? All snow covered. Need to determine my means of transportation on the ice .

Thanks in advance

I was at Potter's Sunday. There was about 2 feet of snow with 3 foot drifts. There were packed down trailers from others but if you didn't stick to those paths the snow is deep. This was before the big storm we got monday

I'm not sure. When I was there it probably would have been fine but then we got that big dumping of snow on Monday. Might need to go get a plow for your bike haha

The funny part is that I have a plow on my other quad.... The one that won't start when it's cold :S

I literally have to put a space heater on the engine for about 15 minutes before it will start but then it starts on the first crank. I won't take that one on the ice haha. I burned a hole through the footwell of it yesterday trying to heat it up with a propane heater!

Sweet, do you want to plow me a trail at Potter's? HAHA. I'm still new to this, would a plow do any good out there, as in, can you plow yourself a trail or are you just asking for double trouble with added resistance? I guess as long as you can build momentum initially, and you'll always have a track to reverse out of?

Out from potters not bad, walked from shore out to the center and enough traffic on the bay made all travelling easy.
