Oooy. Don’t go out onto a frozen river. My father from the Bronx would say this twice a year it seems.
You d
Go under and the current takes you away and that’s the end.
i used to ice fish by driving out on a lake with a strong current- pushed our luck one winter, drove out, super warm- had to cross a crack with boards across it- during hte night (we were smelt fishing) fog rolled in and it really warmed up- we decded to leave early- found the boards, but the gap had increased some- we made it across, but at the shore i had to really gun it to get to the shore as the ice had melted from shore-
Thinking back on it and thinking like your dad said “Go under and the current takes you away and that’s the end.” I NEVER went back on the ice on that lake- that was too close for me-
