Ice roads

Bob says they started plowing the ice road from 12 mile Portage to south end (Windigo) good ice conditions down there.
The ice between Town and 12 mile not as good, 7" in the Slush areas and  in areas where slush froze 15"
That 7" is only strong enough for small truck like Dodge Dakota, need minimum 9" for regular size 1/2 ton.
This cold snap should help build ice

Update

This was Bob's report this morning : Bigstone is open around Needle Point, with only 2-3" ice in middle. Has slushed up from 12 Mile to French Portage. The people at Windigo are traveling south to States. Nobody else moving around on ice yet.
That Colorado Low at beginning of the week dumped 30 cm over entire LOW.
