Outdoor Winter Tips:
Crossing ponds or lakes (water body) there are 2 periods to avoid when accidents are likely to occur. Early in the season when slush ice doesn't freeze together or late in the season when the ice melts at an uneven rate. Look for bluish ice that is at least 4 to 6 inches thick. Dark snow and dark ice are other signs of weak spots.

If you fall through...don't panic. Spread arms and hands out on the unbroken ice and kick your feet and work forward. Once you're on the ice roll forward away from the hole.
Chart was prepared by Department of Natural Resources, gives general ice thickness & weights loads. For early winter slush ice or late season, the thickness should be doubled.
