Bad Ice

[motley man]

Hearing reports of bad ice statewide so everyone be careful out there. Heard 2 snowmobiles went in and 2 people lost their lives. Check thickness and don't be riding around for the heck of it. Come on people we have to use our brains and be safe!!!!!!!!

where did the sleds go in?

Wright county. They drove into open water.

They found them this afternoon.

Saw people buzzing around on Lake Neshonic in West Salem, WI and people driving ATV's on Lake Onalaska this weekend.

hope everyone stays safe out there. Just because it feels like mid January and we SHOULD be able to be driving on the ice doesn't mean it's gonna happen.

There were 1/2 t trucks on tetonka today, 9" of ice, We found 7" back in the bay. The guy with a new 20' salem ice house got a slap from me when I saw him. I would have thought a 55 year old guy would know better than that. Someone will be going down soon.

They went in on Lake Charlotte

[hamms-scooter]

Went to East Rush today and saw Fullsize trucks pulling fishouses. Halftons and cars all over the place.??? about 12 inches of ice.

My parents have a cabin on lake Charlotte and the lake is spring fed so the deep spot in the lake takes a long time to freeze over

Not my point at all.

So what exactly is your point morepower? That you don't give "blank" about others safety, or you just like to bury your head in the sand and pretend there isn't an issue?

+1 what an @$$

Jeez, your chest must hurt.

[amateurfishing]

what difference does it make bout worrying bout someone else's safety? if their are ppl out there making dumb decisions bout vehicles or houses on ice, hes not going to worry bout it. I wouldnt either. Im not gonna waste my good ice fishing time out worrying bout others making dumb decisons, if someone goes thru will try and help but more than likely their own fault unless found a hidden hole or something. Ive never heard of anyone being concerned of a fatally wounded drunk driver either. Fact is its a personal choice to make those decisions, I would be sad for someone going thru, but would not waste my good ice time by worrying if they may or not.

[morepower02]

That's what I was getting at.

[pikerliker]

The point amateur is that they affect others safety not just their own. People driving near others on the ice can put them at danger. People leaving unmarked holes can put others at danger. People dropping into the lake forcing volunteer fire fighters etc to put themselves at risk to save them effects others. If you or others don't like the ice safety posts then don't read them. As far as I'm concerned the people who post these topics are trying to help others out and protect people from making bad decisions that could get themselves or others hurt. That's what this forum is for - helping each other out. If you want to live in your own little world and not worry about anybody but yourself then more power to you. I and others don't think that way.

I don't know if using the word "slap" was a good choice of words, but if I was sitting in an area that had 9 or 10 inches of ice and saw pickup drive by I would do what I could to give them a warning. Who knows what kind of information someone may have given them.

[Knoc]

I seen a few vehicles on the lake today as well. As I sat on 9" of ice. Stupid, yeah. Does it bother me? Not really, but what does bother me is the poor people who have to go and rescue these retards. Putting them at risk because these people are stupid.

[HandGunner]

Im fine with walking not so much worry just hate when ppl drive by me with atv's and sleds and all I hear is ice cracking that dosnt stop until 5 mins later.
