Here's an update on the current condition of the ice road between Bayfield, Wisconsin and Madeline Island.
According to the ice road "Hotline", the road was plowed last Thursday. I'm told the ice is now safe for cars and light trucks and the ice thickness will increase now that some of the snow has been removed from the ice surface.
Accumulating snow may have the effect of insulating the ice from the cold air above it, slowing the increase in ice thickness. The folks who maintain the ice road make an effort to keep the ice plowed once it has grown thick enough to support vehicles.
I plan to drive the ice road this coming week and I plan to upload a Flip video of that trip!
