Question about Ice formation on Utah lakes

[Majja]

Snow is also an insulator as well so if you get a thin layer of slush and then a heavy snow fall on that it can actually trap the warmth and the Ice will decay that as well.

I stopped by Starvation one year after we were done up chasing cow elk on a late season hunt when the ice was Gin clear it had to of be at least 8-10 inches from what i could tell form the cracks I could see. It was pretty cool to slide more the walk as you could of played a game of hockey on it, it was so smooth .
