The reverse is also possible, after a fashion. You can have good ice, then get melting snow on top, or even rain, and you're wading through water while standing on the ice. I have punched holes to let the water drain off the ice....pretty wild watching a whirlpool effect take your line or float down.

Then, a cold spell will refreeze that slop, and the next time you go out your feet break through the weak junk before contacting the solid ice underneath.....VERY creepy, nerve wracking stuff.

"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.
