Last winter, four people died after falling through thin ice.
DNR clear ice thickness recommendations are:
•4 inches for walking.
•5 inches for a snowmobile or ATV.
•8-12 inches for a car.
•12-15 inches for a medium-sized truck
Before the snow a fue of the sheltored bays had 4" of ice, the main lakes still had open water, add 16 to 20 inches of snow and its a mess, the good news, the open water areas are like a sheet of glass, 4 degees last night , its making good ice. Pray that the new snow stays away.
