Frozen Solid, no slush or loose snow. Very hard surface and very thick. 2 days ago I drilled through 4" packed hard snow into 3" ice and than 3" water and than into 20" of ice. Now I am sure it is solid from top to bottom. My gas-powered auger was about 2" from bottoming out when it broke through.
Surface is pretty bumpy from frozen ruts and such.
