From the ice I was on this past weekend I would say if we get much snow it may put an end to my ice fishing for the year.

Hopeful that this snow will sink the ice and allow water to get up on top and make the snow slush allowing it to freeze good

NOBODY seeks to have slush. Typically, there will be only some water forced to the top which will remain UNDER some of the insulating snow. The result is that the ice is worse and not better. In addition, even when very cold temps are able to freeze the underlying slush, the net ice is less strong than it would have been if there was no snow.

The ice will not gain at all with snow ontop, if the snow mixes with water and becomes slush or even just water the ice will actually make ice. I think you missed the concept I was getting at, this is what happened 2 weeks ago and doubled our ice. I could probably still be fishing now if I really wanted to

Just because there is 4 inches of frozen junk ontop of 1 inch of clear ice doesn't make it 5 inches of good ice . It's ok to get that 4 inches of frozen junk on top of 8 inches of good clear ice ! But not what we have now your asking for a death bed

We have good ice making temps coming, my point is it will make good ice under this crap ice unless it has 5 inches of snow insulating it.
I'm fishing right now on 3 inches of junk and 4 inches of hard ice.

( in my opinion ) this snow we have coming is going to make this junk ice we already have even worse. And the temperatures they're calling for are not to the extreme side of making much ice under 5 inches of snow. Now things really get dangerous now ....

Weve dodged winter all season, this storm was exaggerated from the start. Even Skilling missed it. Its all Moot anyway, 50s next week!

Lagrange co
i had a good 3" of ice on the channel and about 8" of snow wound up on it from the event......
yesterday my lab ( 80#) walked on it.... and at 6 am i had to fish her out of the lake this am.
so im going with the " it pushed it down" line of thought.  slight flow thru the channel but sure the 5" on the lake didnt fare much better, looks like a deep grey sloppy wet mess out there now....
yuck!

If we get the warm temp they are talking about at the end of the weekend, it is going to be a mess.

You are right about the open water, I was referring to all the standing water we will have due to snow melt.
