One of the places I fish has a brook entering with water 2' deep you need to cross to get out to the main body. Brook is 500' away from where I was and barely trickling. Moving water under snow insulation is bad news.
This weekend I was walking back through this area and went right through. Was checking in front of me with the ax, just takes one step. I was well aware that this could happen and knew the water was shallow. Main body had 10" black ice with 4" snow ice, then snow on that.
Just another safety heads up - watch out for the coves with even a small 1' wide brook coming in.
