YooperDog If my truck breaks through, I won’t be around to explain after going through 24" to better than 36" of ice.

@dennyo I need to be because my wife would kill me after sinking the truck. I need to be available for my indiscretions. LOL

After sinking the truck in that thick of ice, I wouldn’t be alive! I could not react quick enough to stay close to the top. Yes I wear an inflatable life vest with enough buoyancy to deal with my wide body , Plus I usually have a floatation suit on.

@dennyo I have a floating outfit and the safety gear to climb out, but it is a long way to anywhere to get help. I have come close a few times on a sled hitting a large spring hole under the snow. It gets your attention as you are sinking faster than you are moving forward.
Never been close! The worst I was on made my Gluteus Maximus grip my 7 gallon bucket when I was in a flimsy hut with the sun shining making the cracks with 6" of ice.
Man O Man was that Erie!!

@dennyo At night especially you can hear the ice making going on in the lake. It is pretty cool to hear , a bit erie for sure when you can feel that crack move through the ice.

It is even worse on a moonless night with little to no snow on the completely "BLACK: ice. Those of you that have experienced it, ya know what I’m talking about!

@dennyo A Police Officer and two Firefighters from a neighboring jurisdiction were struck by a car because of black ice 24 years ago on January 12 at about 6 am. It was definitely the worst black ice crash in my career. They had responded to an accident on I-675 caused by black ice. While they were attempting to render aid to victims of the first crash, a driver came through at “normal highway speed”, which was way too fast for the conditions and especially an emergency scene. The driver lost control and killed Officer Kalama instantly, FF O’Toole died after being medivaced by helicopter. FF Arnold was able to return to work after several months of rehab. I was on the Rifle Detail for Officer Kalahan’s funeral. It definitely left an impression about how dangerous that stuff is.
Fast forward to December 16, 2016 The same type situation and one of our officer was on I-75 responding to an accident. He wa[censored] and pinned between his cruiser and a car unable to stop. He lived because another of our officers got to him quick enough to get a tourniquet on his leg, but he lost his leg.
Highways with ice are one of the most dangerous places on earth you can be. Especially that black ice. Stay safe out there.
