Stupid question

you would want a consistent 5-6in at least before this amount of snow fall I'd say to consider checking it again after the snow cover. thin ice or open water will start a chain reaction with the snow pushing down on it. There will be places to ice fish still but the sloppy walk is really annoying on top of the snow hiding dangers....

best case scenario is the warm weather melts/compacts the snow on top and then we get a deep freeze again to solidify it before we lose the black ice thinner than 4in or so.
