ice is funny stuff.... expands when it freezes.. that alone should make you think... it NEVER freezes uniformily... a small leaf or pile of bird droppings can make an unsafe area even in ice a foot thick...the older I get the more weary i become...never...ever take it for granted... I've been through 3 times... never while ice fishing.. but that's a story for another day... plenty of ice in the lakes region... I've been fishing there since before Christmas... prior to the thaw... one lake in particular .. had 16" of ice... 18" of snow and 4" of slush in between... the snow took the punishment of the rain.. that ice that did melt was crappy snow ice.. leaving 10-12" of nice black ice..way ahead of what we had at this time the last few years..
