Heavy snow early on in the season has little impact as the thin layer of ice cannot support any weight and thus the snow just sinks into the water. Once there is 6" or more of ice thickness heavy snow then becomes a problem. The big lakes up north didn't even have shoreline ice as of last weekend. Not too concerned just yet.

I echo your thoughts, everyone be safe!
