really depends where you are...most the snow is blown off with the wind, but there's still some snow, dew good inches, and some drifts.  just bring the shoes just to be safe

Hi Guys,

Planning to be up Saturday in the Alburg, Carry Bay, North Hero area. Any ice reports would be greatly appreciated. Conditions, thickness, etc. would be great.

Thanks!

Whats the damage snowfall wise? I'm looking forward to getting up there tomorrow for the weekend, but I'm not a big fan of trudging thru slush! Any chances of the slushy mess freezing solid by Sat am? I really appreciate the responses from you Vt guys. If any of you are in the Shelburne Burlington area, send me a pm if you wanna visit a large group of c&r pike fisherman, to fish or have a beer with and I'll tell you where we will be.
