No ice is safe ice

With the way the weather has been in New England the last week or two, this is making ice conditions very unsafe. There was little ice to start with before the 2 storm weekend dumped many inches of snow on whatever little ice there was. Now we have had warm temps, wind and rain as well and this has really softened the ice that is there. The weather forecast is predicting 60 plus degrees this weekend and that may open lakes and ponds up once again. By keeping a close eye on our children at this critical state we are in right now, this will allow them to have a fun day tomorrow. There have been a few folks that have had to be rescued already this season and luckily they were rescued and not seriously injured. No ice is ever safe but right now especially it is not safe.

snow on top of thin ice is a bad deal! hopefully you get that warm weather to open it up again, then have a refreeze with good ice

Hoping that with the rain and wind the snow is melted and on Sunday it will be 61 degrees again and that should put us back to minimal ice and hopefully then freeze good and solid
