does anyone know what affects winter visibility in our lakes?

we kinda know how it works in the summer, but what makes water murky in the winter?

late ice formation?

sunlight getting thru the ice?

winter algae blooms?

what is it?

[Archerysniper]

Warm water run off into the lakes from all the melting.

No snow on ice Late algae bloom.

Very windy before freeze up stirs some lakes up.

Warm water run off.

I think shallow lakes tend to be affected a bit more than deeper lakes but that doesnt mean deeper lakes wont be dirty
