| Question: | "Is there any difference between the various kinds of ice covers that occur on greens? I have heard that ice that is milky or white in color is less likely to cause winterkill than the hard clear or black ice that we frequently see. Is this true?" |

| Source of Question: | Pennsylvania |

| Answer/Response: | "Winterkill of turfgrass is a poorly understood concept, but more research is being done on this topic. Recent research at Penn State University suggests that while the ice cover may appear different, its permeability is the same. Thus, there is very little difference between white and black ice for turf suffocation potential. Duration of ice cover is more important in determining the potential impact on winterkill of turfgrass." |
