Coming up to a frozen or snow-covered lake in the middle of winter raises sudden safety questions for winter travelers.
- How thick is the ice?
- Will the ice hold?
- What is the lowest risk way across?
- Is there a high-risk area I should avoid?
- What should I do if, I or someone else falls thru the ice?
- What do I do after, I or someone else gets out of the water?
These and many other questions will be answered.
