🚨 Stay Safe on Thin Ice! 🚨

Although it may look frozen, it’s important to remember that ice may not always be safe. Follow these tips to protect yourself and your loved ones:

❄️ Know the Ice Thickness: Ice should be at least 4 inches thick for walking, 5-7 inches for snowmobiles, and 8-12 inches for vehicles.
❄️ Look for Signs of Weak Ice: Avoid areas with cracks, slush, or open water. Ice near docks or bridges is often thinner.
❄️ Stay Off Unknown Ice: If you don’t know the area, assume the ice may not support your weight.
❄️ Carry Safety Gear: Keep ice picks, rope, and a whistle handy, and wear a life jacket for extra precaution.
❄️ Supervise Kids and Pets: Never let children or pets near ice without close supervision.
