I read an article on how the cold weather outside can be deceiving. An man was happily ice fishing on Foot lake just like he does most nights when suddenly his truck went under. It is still under water today and the DNR plans to get it out soon. Luckily he made it and is safe and only was faced with minor hypothermia. He thought the ice was fifteen inches deep, just like the recommended thickness for the truck. Although, the thickness is not perfectly consistent and adding the isolating snow into the mix caused a tragic event. This lucky man survived because of a police officer that was in the right place at the right time. This article should be a great reminder on how to be extra careful when on the ice. You never know how tomorrow will unfold so try to be ready for it but always think what can result through your actions.
