Slush Ball Mystery mostly resolved

In the previous post we were unsure what is the source of slush that occasionally creates slush balls along beaches and on downwind ice edges.  A bit of cold weather wading has demonstrated one formation mechanism for this interesting form of lake ice. A review of the new information can be found at the end of the Slush Ball page.
