We snow-shoed out to our Cabin on the southern end of Rattlesnake on Monday, leaving from Minge Cove. A mix of crusty snow, 4 - 6" and bare ice. We drilled here and there (thanks for the advise on the drills) as we crossed, never finding less than 6 inches. Small pressure ridge from Treasure Isl towards Alton Bay. Only saw two sleds the whole day, where is everyone?

There must have been some serious drifting flows coming in from the east; thick slabs of ice piled up along the Broads side of the island. Appeared to have had a lot of fun with our dock, popping it up like a bottle cap. Didn't have the time (or energy) to check on other properties along the Broads. Hope everyone faired well.
