That’s what I have also but won’t work, have posted pictures before
That's what's called rotted ice.It breaks apart vertically and if you stepped on a section you'd break right thru because the ice would have no horizontal strength.It wouldn't crack, as it would on normal ice, but rather break like stepping on and breaking thru a crust layer on slush.
Doesn’t matter the thickness, you can fall through 3’ Of candled ice.... and there’s no way to pull yourself out.
Bad thing is...Cold weather refreeze won't fix honeycombed ice. It may seem solid, but it isn't.
How can someone tell if its honey combed from a standing position. Can you see the vertical lines ?
