Every year in winter and spring people fall through unsafe ice on lakes, ponds and streams. All to often these accidents are fatal. Whether on foot, snowmobile or other vehicle, know the ice conditions before venturing out.
In spring when warmer days lead to melting and runoff ice can become unpredictable and unsafe, especially in areas with a current and moving water. Don’t venture out onto ice that you’re unfamiliar with or that looks unsafe. Even though the days are getting warmer, icy ponds and streams are still dangerous.
