“Rather disconcerting to be sitting a mile out on ice and having a monster crack and heave rip across a lake.”
I’m thinking that’s one of the scenarios where, even if I made to it shore without further incident, I’d still have had an ‘accident’.
hehe
Even old-timers get VERY jumpy when they get too close.
Resorts that put out a lot of ice houses have portable bridges for when the cracks show up.
