Slush Or Frazzle Ice ?

November 21, 2012 by Keith Wilson

Miramichi River Ice 2012
Atlantic salmon fishermen regardless of whether they are on the Gaspe or in Iceland or the good ole Miramichi are always full of questions . My question today is why there is sand particles in the slush , as we Miramichiers call it . I have heard this ice formation called frazzle ice by people of “the know ” and some say that the slush is formed on the bottom of low fast moving water so it picks up sand from the bottom . I would like to hear from anyone that may have an explaination . I am most curious though of an event I witnessed app ten years ago when the entire river was full of perfectly formed baseball size solid ice . The following spring one could find piles of these ice balls along the shores for miles . I have only seen it once , has anyone else witnessed this ?
