I was out in Richmond sunday afternoon. there was about 8-10 inches of snow. easy walking really only sinking in a couple inches. sleds all over with no issues. Its was not bad at all, contrary to the picture that has been painted on IS the last week.

I'm on Upper Range and there is about a foot of snow with 10" of slush.  I'm wearing snowshoes with no issues.

I went out this past Saturday and Sunday. Both lakes I fished had roughly 18" of snow in the morning which then transformed into a messy snow/slush mixture after drilling holes and/or the sun coming out. I also heard the conditions during the derby at Square were terrible. Even for sleds...

I was on the ice this afternoon. There was no slush. Last night's single digit temps froze all of it. I don't know what to expect with the warm temps and rain in the next few days.

It might depend where you go and if you dig down to far you might just hit China. :)
