While recent winter storms and sub-zero temperatures have brought more snow and cold, the OPP and the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs urge snowmobilers and ice-fishing enthusiasts to be careful about going out on local rivers and lakes. Several streams like the South Nation River still had open-water sections prior to Christmas and the recent freeze may still have left some weak ice areas on rivers, streams, lakes, and ponds. Check both the appearance and condition of local ice before venturing onto it with any vehicles or ice-fishing huts. Clear blue ice of at least 10-centimetre or four-inch thickness is needed for walking, twice that for a snowmobile’s weight, and three times that thickness for any other vehicle. White or opaque ice needs four times the thickness for any of those conditions. Heavy snow layers can slow down the creation of ice during freezing conditions, creating dangerous weak points in the ice surface. Ice which appears slushy, is close to open moving water, or marina dock bubblers is dangerous. Anyone planning to go out on the ice for any reason should let someone else know where they are going and how long before they return. Wear a floatation suit if possible, or if walking, at least carry a long staff that can serve as a brace to prevent going under if the ice opens up without warning. Parents should be aware where their children are playing outside and warn them about the dangers of ice during mild weather conditions. Anyone planning to go out on the ice should check with regional weather reports, police or the snowmobile federation’s online advisory at www.ofsc.on.ca about potential conditions.
