Anybody know of good ways to judge how safe candle ice is for walking on, and at what point it becomes too rotten? I guess I mean old ice, once the top inches turn into slush and the whole affair turns that grey-greenish colour, before it turns into the long candle crystals.
Interestingly, moose and bears don't seem to be too careful about crossing rotten ice, whereas they stay away from newly formed ice at the beginning of the winter. Or at least in this neck of the woods.
