Conditions were surprisingly better than I thought where I was on north Winnisquam today. Was able to get the ATV on the ice and move around with only minimal spinning. Only had to fight with it once or twice all day. Snow was about 6-8 inches in most spots with drifts of up to a foot in places. Other spots had 6 inches of snow covering 3 inches of slush, which made for some trouble after we parked it last night. Needed some boiling water to get things thawed out, but after that we were up and running again.
On foot, didn't need snowshoes and even stayed on top of the snow in areas that had slush, so it wasn't a problem for me. That said, I hear it was worse in other areas and I wouldn't want to pull a heavy sled too far. Pulled out a half mile this morning before we got thawed out. Wasn't fun, but got the blood moving.
