Title: Everything you could want to know about ice.
Post by: MrE1979 on Feb 01, 2016, 08:17 PM

I posted this on the general chat page and the Massachusetts page.  I know some guys don't venture off of their state page so I figured I would share here also.   I don't wanna read about anyone dying because they went through.
Stay safe and tight lines.

Here is a site that I think might help everyone make informed decisions about ice.  I have read the site many times and still find something new I might have missed.  I like being as informed as possible about something that could potentially kill me.  Everyone always wants to know how thick the ice is.  Well it's not how thick the ice is as to how good the ice is.   Quality over quantity.  There is LOTS of information about ice on this site.  I would venture to say EVERYONE can probably learn something new about ice on this site.  I know I have learned plenty from it.

Thanks for posting, MrE...Quick question: that website seems very informative, but it is loaded with tons of different subpages,  to the point of being overwhelming. When you say "it is not how much ice, but the quality of the ice",  what are you referring to on the site? I have looked at the information about ice formation, ice out, general ice safety, etc., but was not able to find anything about general ice quality. Please advise.
