We found a very hard 1-1.5 cm thick layer of ice on top of about 4-6inches of fresh snow. Many trees had a layer of clear ice on them. The ice layer was clear and very strong, It was difficult navigating all terrain as snowmobile skis could break through it barely. I predict this being a problem layer going forward. As it will likely be difficult for other layers to bond to it.
