Deep snow = thin ice and Rats have access to lots of feed. Water temp is stable under the ice no matter how cold the air temp gets.

There was an errie quite. The marsh seemed on lock down. And even crazier there were no people, not even a track of man on a public marsh in Wisconsin during trapping season. I thought to myself last fall I could hardly find a place to park. I guess it takes some kind of oddball to be wanting to plow around in a marsh on lockdown.
