North of the 78 bridge but has to be a ton of snow on top of the ice. Going to be hard access until the snow goes down a bit.

Any idea how much snow there is? With the wind we’ve had it must be pushing it somewhere... is it all piling at the bridge there?

I haven't been up there to 78 bridge in a few days but at my house in North Hero there are killer drifts from shore to way out. Wind was brutal and it did do some blowing away but so much fell it gathered everywhere. Only can drift so far before it starts to back up. I live on the west shore and it is deep. Edit:   Just talked with a friend who drove up just to check it out. He said nobody was out there and he doubted that an atv could get off the shore.

We are supposed to get some brutal wind from the south and a bit of rain hopefully that does something to set things up. So far this winter has been terrible, every bit of cold we get is wasted...

Been a real windy year both ice and open water.
