Re: Safe ice reports?
 
REAL sketchy ice this year so far... it's thick in spots but the solidity varies greatly! so beware!

We had 4-5 inches of sold frozen half grey half black ice and then a few feet over i was standing on 4 inches that i could punch through with the spud in one hit is was so soft! so i could walk over it and never know i was in danger without spuding it... very soft but thick spots! don't assume anything this time around! ice formation very strange this year!

Could be because we got hit with the snow last Wednesday as the freeze up was starting.

Yes it is the reason, but even the black ice afterwards didn’t thicken up like it usually has in the past
