My group usually plays that the water in the creek is OB, but if it dries out then the OB is gone. When it is mostly gone but iced over you get a thin layer of ice and leaves with dry ground an inch underneath. You step on it and it breaks apart leaving you standing on broken ice on top of a dry creek.
I realize a TD can make whatever ruling for league/tourney rounds (I played a league round where if you can stand on the ice, you play from the lie without penalty), but is there a rule of thumb about how to consider an iced over but dry creek? I did try searching the net with no real answer to this so it may just be an edge case that requires a house rule?
