Is all the Snow good for the Greens?

Although snow cover can be good for protecting the Greens, Ice is not.  We try to monitor the ice along the surface.  This is Billy McQuaid digging a test hole on Green #5
A thick layer of ice for prolonged periods can cause the Poa to suffocate and die.  We will continue to monitor the situation as the snow continues to pile up.
