Yes, we know there is still a lot of ice on the lakes, but thanks to our longer days and stronger sun, that ice is starting to decay & weaken from the inside and bottom. 

PLEASE SPREAD the safety message that we and our friends from the US Coast Guard-Burlington and Vermont Emergency Management have put together.

Bottom line, it's increasingly difficult to tell how strong the ice is just by looking at it, and chances are it's much weaker than you might think. Best course of action is to just stay off of it.
