First some questions:
How much snow is on the pond?

Are there any spots where wind has moved snow off the ice - I call these spots wind blown areas?

How long has it been snow covered with over 2" of snow on top of the ice?

How thick is the ice?

Average depth of the pond?

For the acre of water estimate the percentage of water over 12ft deep.
