Hi All,
I am passing along the "slush" report from the Broads side of Rattlesnake. Snowmobiles are working extremely hard just to carry one person in these conditions. What is most dangerous out here are the rifts. They just appear to be "wet" areas. There's more movement around them than we consider safe. Here's a view but it does not show how hard it is to get around. Most of the "marks" in this picture are slushy areas not snowmobile tracks. Only near the bottom of the photo are actual tracks. Two major rifts here go all the way across to Winter Harbor and the other shore and this fresh snow is covering up the danger signs. More cold during this coming week should help tighten things up.
