The Ice is Still Thin
From an eyewitness account, three snowmobilers are extremely lucky this morning.
A listener from Charleston Lake tells us he saw them on the water when the ice was only an inch-and-a-half thick.
People shouldn’t even walk on ice unless it’s four inches thick and clear.
The Cataraqui Region Conservation Authority issued a thin ice warning last week.
