We need to elect other politicians in the public offices of Monroe County, FL, USA.

FL is nice indeed but people are too nervous and don't care much. Today I waited two hours in the burning heat of Key Largo for a bus to stop; finally one stopped after two buses that passed. The county should send a van to take the customers left if the bus gets full. We need to elect other politicians in the public offices of Monroe County, FL, USA.

Vaporul Sun al NCL: Merita experienta, dar atentie NCL

Am traversat Atlanticul pe vaporul Sun al NCL. Merita experienta, dar atentie NCL, aruncati alimentele (spanac, fructe) care se altereaza in frigidere dupa zile de stat; daca le serviti unii nu isi dau seama de probleme (au mirosul, gustul slabite), le mananca si se intoxica rau sau pot chiar muri!

Pactul de disciplina bugetara

P.S. Initiativa Uniunii Europene pentru adoptarea Pactului pentru disciplina bugetara trebuie salutata chiar daca – o prima constatare – el este gândit sa functioneze dupa ceasul bavarez cu cuc. Desi nu are conditia statelor din zona euro, obligate sa consimta la rigorile acestuia, România il va semna. Nu este rau. Nu exista ratiuni sa fie refuzat un pact prin care se pune ordine in gestionarea bugetului unui stat. Dar, pentru a putea pune in aplicare Pactul, un stat trebuie sa fie puternic. Nu cedarea masiva de suveranitate – pe care unii dintre guvernantii nostri o socotesc cheia succesului Pactului – rezolva problema jafului bugetar, ci consolidarea statului pâna la a ajunge suficient de puternic sa aplice o lege. Tot in acest rationament intra si framântarea presedintelui actual al României pentru crearea Statelor Unite ale Europei. Daca se poate chiar peste noapte. Sa admitem ca se va ajunge si acolo si ca va fi semnat Pactul de disciplina bugetara mâine, cred guvernantii nostri ca vor mai putea sa cumpere amantelor bijuterii de la Venetia, sa ofere sotiilor micul dejun la Monte Carlo, sa se imbrace la casele de moda de la Paris, sa-si tina yahturile la Palma de Majorca fara sa dea socoteala de cum au dobândit banii? Daca pentru asta se grabeste Bucurestiul sa semneze Pactul de disciplina bugetara trebuie sa afle ca se inseala.

Nobody gets a job because they're the candidate best qualified and suited for it, he said: "You get a job because you're the son or nephew or cousin or old schoolfriend of someone who knows someone who might want a little service.
"I saw it in my military service –there I was, coming back from the US with a PhD, you might think they'd try and make sensible use of me somehow. But I was sent to an island to kick my heels, while the 19-year-old sons of people who knew people got to do quite serious jobs in Athens.
"It's one of the reasons why the state administration is so ineffective – you have people handling big sums of money, public money, who have no specialist education or training for that kind of job. Amazing, really."
Like all his colleagues at Thessaloniki university, where he teaches maths, his salary has been cut almost in half – from around €40,000 to €24,000, he said – and he's been hit by an array of new and higher taxes.
A saving grace for many Greeks, he says, is the extremely low level of personal debt, by western standards, of most households. Most middle-class Greeks own their homes outright; there's a "cultural aversion" to debt that leaves many in a better position than, say, debt-laden Britons or Americans would be if their governments tried the same draconian austerity measures.
But what alarms him more is that he can't see a political way out of the current crisis.

The countries that rank worse than India for corruption include Russia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and various African countries. Most developed economies are ranked in the top 20 (i.e., have the least corruption), as we would expect. There is one big exception to this, and this is Greece. Greece's ranking in the same index is number 78, very close to our number 87. 

...

Due to political lobbying, the retirement age in Greece for public sector workers and a large number of private sector workers was 53. Upon reaching that age, individuals could receive a state pension equal to 90% of the previous salary for the rest of their lives. So an individual who lived for 80 years would only work for around 30-35 years of their lives. Early retirement and generous pension schemes were one of the primary factors that drove the Greek government into bankruptcy.

Public sector workers also received many additional perks and subsidies. For example, individuals would get bonuses simply for turning up to work on time. A result of this was that public services were inefficient and costly for the government to provide. A study of the costs of the metro service in Athens showed that it would have been cheaper to send each individual passenger to their destination by taxi, rather than paying to run the metro!

How to Survive a Fall Through Ice

What if someone else falls in?

What if someone else falls through and you are the only one around to help? First, call 911 for help. There is a good chance someone near you may be carrying a cell phone.

Resist the urge to run up to the edge of the hole. This would most likely result in two victims in the water. Also, do not risk your life to attempt to save a pet or other animal.

Preach, Reach, Throw, Row, Go

PREACH ‑ Shout to the victim to encourage them to fight to survive and reassure them that help is on the way.
REACH ‑ If you can safely reach the victim from shore, extend an object such as a rope, ladder, or jumper cables to the victim. If the person starts to pull you in, release your grip on the object and start over.
THROW ‑ Toss one end of a rope or something that will float to the victim. Have them tie the rope around themselves before they are too weakened by the cold to grasp it.
ROW ‑ Find a light boat to push across the ice ahead of you. Push it to the edge of the hole, get into the boat and pull the victim in over the bow. It’s not a bad idea to attach some rope to the boat, so others can help pull you and the victim to safety.
GO ‑ A non‑professional shouldn’t go out on the ice to perform a rescue unless all other basic rescue techniques have been ruled out.
If the situation is too dangerous for you to perform the rescue, call 911 for help and keep reassuring the victim that help is on the way and urge them to fight to survive. Heroics by well‑meaning but untrained rescuers sometimes result in two deaths.

Safety On Ice

Before going onto a frozen lake, pond or river, it's important to take safety precautions to reduce the risk of falling through the ice.
Knowing how to judge ice conditions will also help you make more informed decisions while enjoying your outing. Look for clear blue ice. New ice is stronger than old ice. Remember you take a risk any time you go onto the ice. Ice thickness is not consistent. Beware of ice around partially submerged objects such as trees, brush, embankments or structures. Ice will not form as quickly where water is shallow or where objects may absorb sunlight.
When ice fishing, it is always a good idea to drill test holes or use an ice chisel as you venture onto a lake to help judge the thickness and character of the ice.
The general rule of thumb for ice:

• 2 inches or less - STAY OFF
• 4 inches of good ice for a walking individual
• 6 inches of good ice for a snowmobile or ATV
• 8-12 inches of good ice for a car or small pickup
• 12-15 inches of good ice for a medium pickup truck.

Beware of ice covered with snow. Snow acts much like a blanket, insulating thin ice and preventing the formation of clear, blue ice. Snow can also hide cracked, weak and open water. Daily changes in temperature cause ice to expand and contract, creating cracks and possibly pressure ridges which can affect ice strength.

Stay away from cracks, pressure ridges, slushy or darker areas that signify thinner ice.

Traveling in a vehicle early or late in the season is an accident waiting to happen. Do not drive across ice at night or when it is snowing. You can easily become disoriented and end up in areas of the lake you never intended to be.

Carry a safety kit that includes:

• Ice chisel to check the ice thickness.
• Ice picks or set of screw-drivers to pull yourself back on the ice.
• A cell phone to call for assistance.
  
        

What if I fall in?

• Try not to panic.
• Turn toward the direction you came.
• The safest place to pull yourself back up is the last place you stepped before you went through the ice.
• Place your hands and arms on the unbroken surface of the ice.
• Work your way up by kicking your feet.
• Use your ice picks to assist in pulling yourself onto the ice.
• Once you are lying on the ice, roll away from the weak or broken ice, don't attempt to stand up.

Place hands and arms on unbroken surface of the ice. Work your way up by kicking your feet and using picks or wet gloves on frozen surface.

Once atop the ice roll away from the weak or broken ice and do not attempt to stand up.

What if my buddy falls through thin ice?

Keep calm, have a plan. Do not run out to assist the victim. You can go from rescuer to victim in a short second.

REACHthe victim with a long pole, board, rope, blanket or jumper cables.

THROWthe victim a life jacket, empty water jug, or other buoyant object.

Build a human chain in which rescuers lie on the ice with each person grasping the feet of the person in front.

Once on the ice, roll away from the weak or broken ice, do not attempt to stand up.
Treat hypothermia victim by removing wet clothing and replacing it with dry clothing. Get medical assistance - people who have been in cold water may seem fine at first but may suffer potential life threatening effects when the cold blood starts to circulate through the body from the extremities.

1. Turn in the water towards the direction you came from - that is probably the strongest ice.
2. Dig the points of the picks into the ice and while vigorously kicking your feet, pull yourself onto the surface by sliding forward on the ice.
3. Roll away from the area of weak ice. Rolling on the ice will distribute your weight to help avoid breaking through again.
4. Get to shelter, heat, warm dry clothing and warm, non-alcoholic, and non-caffeinated drinks.

Call 911 and seek medical attention if you feel disoriented, have uncontrollable shivering, or have any other ill effects that may be symptoms of hypothermia, (the life-threatening drop in the body's core temperature.)
If your buddy breaks through, first tell them to "Stay calm" and that "We'll get you out of there in a second." Then throw them the picks and explain how to use them. Remember that by kicking their feet, the thrust of the kicks can help push them back onto the solid ice.

Copil mort in timp ce patina pe un lac

Un baiat in varsta de 9 ani din Braila a fost gasit, luni seara, inecat in lacul pe care venise sa patineze.

Gheata subtire a cedat, iar copilul a cazut in apa. Pompierii l-au scos cateva ore mai tarziu, insa copilul era deja mort, informeaza Pro Tv.

Tragedia s-a petrecut pe un lac de la marginea Brailei. Unul dintre cei trei copii care s-au dus sa patineze s-a temut sa paseasca pe gheata.

Cand a vazut ca prietenii sai a cazut in apa a fugit si i-a alertat pe parinti. Intre timp, unul dintre cei doi baieti a reusit sa iasa singur din apa, desi era in stare de soc.

Celalalt nu a reusit sa supravietuiasca. Medicii au facut eforturi sa-l readuca pe baiat la viata insa n-au reusit. mai mult

Braila: Un copil s-a inecat intr-un lac format de Dunare

Un copil s-a inecat luni in lacul format de Dunare pe digul Braila-Galati, dupa ce s-a dus sa se joace in zona impreuna cu inca doi prieteni.

Astfel, trei baieti din cartierul ANL Brailita, in varsta de 7, 9 si respectiv 10 ani, au plecat sa se joace pe malul lacului in dreptul unui retaurant de pe dig, informeaza Adevarul.

Cei doi baieti mai mari au cazut in apa, iar cel mic a fugit dupa ajutor. Un barbat care trecea prin zona a reusit sa-l gaseasca pe unul dintre baieti, in soc hipotermic, dar in viata. Medicii SMURD, care l-au resuscitat, ii dau sanse de supravietuire.

Echipele ISU au gasit si corpul celui de-al treilea copil. Acesta nu mai respira si a fost supus procedurii de resuscitare. mai mult

How to Survive a Fall Through Ice: 12 steps

Yes, the weather outside is frightful, but what could be more delightful on a cold winter morning than getting out of the house, breathing in the crisp air, and skating or fishing atop a frozen lake? For many inhabitants of the world's cold-weather climates, getting out on the ice is a much-anticipated yearly ritual. Unfortunately, this Currier & Ives scene can turn deadly with a single misstep. A fall through the ice into frigid waters is a harrowing experience that can easily result in drowning or hypothermia. If you know what to do, however, you can escape safely. Here's how.

To learn how to rescue someone who has fallen through ice, click here.

Edit Steps

1. 1
   Be prepared. Many people fall through ice in or near towns where help is nearby, but if you're going to be some distance from civilization (as you might on a backpacking or snowmobiling trip) you should prepare for the possibility of a plunge.

   • Carry a spud bar - a long metal or metal-tipped wood pole that can be used to probe unsure areas of ice, and can also be used as a walking stick when traveling on slick areas.
   • Carry safety spikes. There are also many types of safety spikes, designed to give traction to an ice adventurer, should he break through. Pairs can be bought at stores, but some of the most effective spikes can be made of wooden dowels and nails at home. By putting a nail into one-inch-diameter dowels that fit into your hands, you have created a floating tool that could very well save your life. Connect the two dowels with eye-hooks and a durable cord to have them comfortably hang around your neck available to use at a moment’s notice.
   • Rewarming yourself after spending time in ice-cold water is essential, and in a remote area fire will likely be your only option. Carry reliable fire starters, such as those commercially available in camping and outdoor supply stores, or, at the very least, waterproof matches. Fire starters may not be waterproof, so make sure to keep them in a tightly sealed plastic bag or other waterproof container. Keep your fire-making supplies in a zipped pocket of your jacket so there is no chance of losing them. If you go through the ice, whether on foot or snowmobile, you will likely lose all your supplies that aren't attached to you.
   • Wear a small backpack that contains essential supplies such as water, food, an emergency blanket, and possibly a change of clothes. Make sure the backpack is waterproof, or keep the items inside sealed in a bag. Don't overpack this bag; just keep the necessities in it. If you're already carrying a heavy backpack, keep in mind that you may need to dump it in order to get out of the water, so consider keeping some emergency supplies in a fanny pack or in the pockets of your clothes.
   • Wear a flotation suit if you're traveling by snowmobile. Regular snowmobile suits can weigh you down and make escape from the water difficult. A flotation suit is more expensive, but worth every penny - and more - if you end up needing it.
2. 2
   Brace yourself. As soon as you realize you're falling through the ice, hold your breath so that you do not breathe in water if your head goes under for a moment. If you have the presence of mind to lean back a little, this will also help you to avoid submersion of your head. Everything usually happens very quickly, though, so just be sure to immediately get to the surface if your head does go underwater.
3. 3
   Keep a cool head. You don't literally want a "cool" head, of course, but you do want to calm down. The body will react to the plunge by going into "cold shock," a condition characterized by hyperventilation, involuntary gasping, and internal responses including hypertension (high blood pressure) and changes in pulse rate. It's easy to panic under these conditions, but the fact is, you've got time: even in near-freezing water, people in decent physical condition will generally have at least 2-5 minutes, and sometimes much longer, before they lose the strength or coordination to pull themselves out. Yes, it's a race against time, but the race is a bit longer than most people think. Panic is your worst enemy.
4. 4
   Find the hole! Especially when speed skating, momentum can make you end up far away from the original break in the ice. Being calm and try to locate what's up and remember this:
   • When the ice is covered with snow: the hole will be darker.
   • Ice without snow: the hole will be lighter.
   • Always look for the contrasting color!
5. 5
   Stay afloat. Though your head may have gone underwater initially, you want to make sure you keep it out of the water from here on out. Tread water, and lean slightly back to help you float more easily. Don't worry about getting out right away; in the first minute you should just concentrate on keeping afloat and not drowning. If a heavy backpack is pulling you down, ditch it.
6. 6
   Control your breathing. The gasping and hyperventilating associated with cold shock begin the second you go into the water and can last up to 4 minutes. You need to normalize your breathing as quickly as possible to ensure that you have enough energy and awareness to get yourself out of the water and minimize the risk of cardiac arrest (cardiac arrest resulting from cold shock is rare in healthy people, but can strike almost instantly in the elderly or people with preexisting heart conditions). Concentrate on slowing your breathing, and make an effort to take deep breaths (note this may not be feasible if the water around you is turbulent). If you continue to take rapid, shallow breaths, try breathing through pursed lips.
7. 7
   Position yourself to face the strongest part of the ice. Since you fell through the ice, you know that the ice around the edges of the hole may very likely also be weak. Generally, the strongest ice will be that which you were on just before you fell through. After all, it was holding you only moments before. In some cases, however, the edge from which you came may difficult to reach or may have fragmented. If this happens, just get to an edge that you can reach and which appears thick and intact.
8. 8
   Get as much of your body as possible out of the water. Grab onto the top of the ice and use your arms and elbows to lift yourself up. It's likely that you won't be able to get all the way out by doing so, but you can get a good start. You'll also lighten your load as water drains off of you.
9. 9
   Kick your feet and simultaneously pull yourself out. Since you generally won't be able to lift yourself upward and out, you want to instead "swim" out by getting your body as horizontal as possible. Lean forward onto the ice, and kick your feet as you would if you were swimming. As you do so, use your arms and elbows to push and pull yourself out of the hole.
   
   An alternate method is to roll out and away from the hole by floating on your back, hooking your strongest arm over the ice and bring your leg on the same side up over the ice edge; begin rolling up on the ice with a throwing motion with the opposite arm in the direction of the roll while bringing the opposite leg up as the roll commences. continue to roll until you are on solid ice.
   • If you are unable to get out of the water after 5 or 10 minutes, you're almost certainly not going to get out. Your body will become weak and uncoordinated, and you will eventually lose consciousness. Don't give up, though. Instead, change your strategy. Many people who have lost consciousness after falling through ice have still been rescued because they managed to keep their heads above water even while they were passed out.
   • Get as much of your body onto the ice as possible. The body loses heat in water much more quickly than it does in air, so the more of your body is above water the better.
   • Stretch out your arms flat against the ice, and don't move them unless you start slipping. If you hold your hands and arms in one position against the ice, they may freeze to the ice. This can prevent you from sliding into the water once you pass out, thus giving you more time to be rescued.
   • If you are certain you cannot escape, stop struggling. Struggling takes away your energy and can lower your body temperature, increasing the rate at which hypothermia sets in. ^[1]
10. 10
    Roll away from the hole. Don't stand up right away. The ice around the hole may be weak, so you want to distribute your weight over as much area as possible. Roll away from the hole or crawl on your belly until you are several feet from the hole. After that, you can crawl on your hands and knees until you are certain you are out of danger. Only then should you stand up.
11. 11
    Retrace your footsteps or path back to shore after getting out. At least try as hard as you can to go back the way you came, as the ice you crossed earlier held up under your weight until the breaking point.
12. 12
    Warm up and get help. Severe hypothermia actually takes quite a while to set in, but it's critical to get warm as soon as possible, even if you don't feel particularly cold (you will probably be numb). If you're in the wilderness, start a fire. Otherwise, get indoors or inside a warm car as soon as possible. Get medical attention promptly, even if you don't feel like you need it.

Tips

• When walking on ice you are unsure of use a "spud bar" to test the strength of the ice in front of you
• Do not try to remove clothing layers; these trap air and can help make you float more easily. Removing clothing also wastes valuable time.
• Not struggling or acting quickly is also important if you end up beneath the ice. Relax, look around, and attempt to locate the open water above you. Acting quickly and swimming in any direction could lead you even further away from the opening and safety.
• If you're not sure if ice is safe, don't risk it. Always assess the ice before stepping out onto it.
• If you need to rescue someone who has fallen through the ice, you should first try to talk them through the situation from a distance. Your presence should help them to calm down, and you can then give them live-saving instructions so they can pull themselves out, Do not put yourself in danger. If the person unable to pull themselves out, however, you'll need to take a more active role.
• If you're wearing skis, kick them off immediately while in the water. Skis can make it extremely difficult to get out of the water. However, you might be able to use one of them to help you get out of the water, if you can safely reach it, by laying it length-wise across the hole and using it to pull yourself out. If that fails you might still be able to use the edges to gain a purchase on the ice.
• Try to determine the safest, quickest route back to land and / or to get help. Often this will be the back the way you came, but sometimes--if you have just traversed a lake, for example, and fall through near the edge--you may be better off taking a different route. Safety is a far more important concern than speed, however, since a second plunge will be even more dangerous than the first.
• If you are carrying a knife, keys, or some other sharp object, you may be able to use it to dig into the ice to help pull yourself out.
• If you fall into ice off a snowmobile, let go of the machine. As soon as it starts falling into the ice, let go, leap off and roll sideways. If you still go into the water, follow the instructions above for getting out. Remember to roll. The impact of the machine going through the ice will have weakened a very large area around it.

REGARDING CLOTHING: I almost drowned after slipping threw ice and my winter coat was so heavy when wet I couldn't get myself out until I had the wherewithal to take it off. I probably would have died had I not taken the weight of it off of me.

Warnings

• The thickness of ice can vary significantly over a short distance due to freezing patterns and water currents, so don't assume the ice ahead is safe just because the ice behind you was.
• Do not venture onto questionable ice or go out onto ice where warnings are posted. If you see a "thin ice" sign or other warning, heed it. Even if there are no warnings, don't go out onto ice unless you're sure it's thick enough to hold you.
• Warm spells in winter and early spring are the most dangerous times to venture onto ice. Thawing weakens the ice and thins it.
• Would-be rescuers frequently fall through the ice themselves. Exercise extreme caution when attempting to rescue someone who has fallen through ice, and try to talk them out from a distance or throw them a line while standing on safe ice.
• Strength and perseverance are what will help you get out. Don't presume you can keep swimming until help arrives - swimming is only going to help keep you up and give you the force to propel yourself out. Otherwise, the coldness of the water will claim you long before swimming would tire you out. You must do your best to get out. Tread water if you need to rest in between attempts to get yourself out.
• Never use hot water, heat lamps, heating pads, or anything hot to treat hypothermia. This can cause cardiovascular problems (including cardiac arrest). If you must use water, use room temperature water first, and slowly increase the temperature. Better yet, remove the wet clothing and wrap the person in blankets to warm them up slowly. For detailed information, check out how to treat hypothermia. Remember, you are trying to slowly increase their core temperature to a safe level.

Safe Ice Skating on a Frozen Lake

http://voices.yahoo.com/safe-ice-skating-frozen-lake-2591996.html

You should never venture out on the ice without knowing without a doubt that it is safe. You can't tell just by looking at it. You can't tell by jumping up and down on it. The ice could be thick enough to support your weight in on area and not in another.
Never go out on a lake alone to skate. If you fell in no one would be there to get help to you. To test to see if lake ice is thick enough to skate on you must bring some tools with you. You will need a cordless drill and a skating pole to check the thickness of the ice. Even then, it may not be completely safe to skate on frozen lake.
Look at the ice on the lake. Is it clear, or is it more translucent than clear. If the ice is not clear it may not be safe to skate on. When you skate on any body of water, such as a lake, pond or river you are skating at your own risk. If you should fall through the ice into the frigid water, you could be pulled under the ice and no one could save you. If you do fall through the ice, try to stay calm and grab the edge of the ice where you fell through. Try not to struggle. The more you move around the colder you will get. Your clothes will act as a barrier to some of the cold temperature of the frigid water. The more you move around the water will make contact with the areas that had been protected from the cold. If you go skating on a frozen lake, never go alone. Be sure you have someone with you that can call for help. Make sure you have a cell phone. Make sure you let people know where you are skating, and when you plan to return home.
Never venture out on ice that has a layer of snow on it. The snow is an insulator. Snow acts like a blanket on the ice to keep it warm. The ice could be very weak in those spots. My last source will give you the scoop on the thickness of ice that is safe to support your weight, and the weight of a snowmobile, and the weight of a road vehicle.
In my opinion it is safer to skate on a man made or natural area that is shallow enough so that if the ice breaks you will not be in danger of drowning. When I was a child my cousins and I could skate in their back yard. My uncle would flood the back yard so that it would freeze over to make a skating surface for us. If you like to ice skate, it is much safer to go to a skating rink. If you or your child falls through the ice, it could be very dangerous. If you plan to go skating on a frozen body of water, please check out my second source.

The Minnesota DNR Ice Safety Chart will provide you with accepted weight load to ice thickness ratios. Keep in mind these values are intended for open water lakes, with standing water. Lakes with a strong current, or rivers are a different matter. When there is water movement under the ice, the thickness may vary dramatically in a matter of feet. The ice may be 12" thick in one spot, and 5' away where the current is swirling around a large boulder or other obstruction under the surface, the ice may be only 2-3" thick. With no indication of the impending weakness on the surface of the ice. How is a person to know whether an area is notorious for weak ice?
Talk to local residents, go to resorts in the area, the old timer that lives around the bend, people that spend a lot of time in the area will probably know where weak areas tend to be.

Watch Danger, Thin Ice! - 10 minute MN DNR ice safety video

Some cold facts about ice

New ice is usually stronger than old ice. Four inches of clear, newly‑formed ice may support one person on foot, while a foot or more of old, partially‑thawed ice may not.
Ice seldom freezes uniformly. It may be a foot thick in one location and only an inch or two just a few feet away.
Ice formed over flowing water and currents is often dangerous. This is especially true near streams, bridges and culverts. Also, the ice on outside river bends is usually weaker due to the undermining effects of the faster current.
The insulating effect of snow slows down the freezing process. The extra weight also reduces how much weight the ice sheet can support. Also, ice near shore can be weaker than ice that is farther out.
Booming and cracking ice isn't necessarily dangerous. It only means that the ice is expanding and contracting as the temperature changes.
Schools of fish or flocks of waterfowl can also adversely affect the relative safety of ice. The movement of fish can bring warm water up from the bottom of the lake. In the past, this has opened holes in the ice causing snowmobiles and cars to break through.

Ice is seldom the same thickness over a single body of water. It can be two feet thick in one place and one inch thick a few yards away due to currents, springs, rotting vegetation or school of rough fish. You need to check the ice at least every 150 feet, especially early in the season or any situation where the thickness varies widely.

Recommended minimum thicknesses for new clear ice.
4" Ice fishing and small group activities
5" Snowmobiles and ATVs
8" - 10" Small to medium cars, and pickups.

White ice, sometimes called "snow ice," is only about one-half as strong as new clear ice so the above thicknesses should be doubled.

Vehicles weighing about one ton such as cars, pickups or SUVs should be parked at least 50 feet apart and moved every two hours to prevent sinking. It’s not a bad idea to make a hole next to the car. If water starts to overflow the top of the hole, the ice is sinking and it’s time to move the vehicle!

3 Ways to Skate on a Frozen Lake or Pond
8 Comments
Nov 18, 2009 | By Caroline Schley

Caroline Schley is a freelance writer, a vegetarian and a tri-athlete. She has held positions instructing many outdoor sports, including Nordic skiing, kayaking and rafting. Her health and fitness articles have appeared on websites, such as TheSavvyGal.com.
1. Know Your Terrain

Walk around the perimeter of the skating area, looking at the ice and the area surrounding the frozen body of water. Note differences in ice color (which indicate thickness discrepancies), cracks in the ice surface, and what the ground looks like around the edge of the ice. If the ground is frozen, it is a good indication that it has been cold in the area recently and the ice is likely to be more stable. Ask friends and people who ice skate in the area to recommend safe places to skate.

2. Alert, Aware, Alive

After your inspection, strap on your skates and start taking slow laps around the outside edges of the skating area, where the ice is thickest. This will allow you to inspect the ice pack in the middle of the pond or lake. If there is a significant color variation in the ice or spots of water showing through, don't venture too far from the edge. As you skate, watch and listen for cracks forming in the ice. Don't skate too fast. If you hear ice starting to crack, you want to be able to stop immediately and without exerting too much impact on the ice.

Keep an eye on the weather. On bright, sunny days, the ice likely will melt a bit while you are skating. If there is significant cloud cover and the light goes flat, it may be harder to see variations in the ice pack. Remember that when you are skating on a frozen lake or pond, skating conditions are subject to nature and changing constantly. Stay alert.

3. Safety in Numbers

Always have a friend with you if you are skating on a frozen lake or pond. If you have a large group of people consider assigning buddies, and making pairs of people responsible for watching each other. Before you go, discuss all the safety issues associated with skating on a frozen lake or pond. Agree that if someone feels uncomfortable with the skating conditions, the group will turn around. Outline the proper exit strategy to employ if the ice starts to crack underneath someone. The best thing to do in this situation is to slowly get down on all fours to evenly distribute your body weight over a larger area. Stay low and crawl to safety.
