With the ongoing cold, many ponds and lakes may have become ice-covered. That doesn't mean it's safe to walk on! Long-periods of extended cold are necessary to create ice thick enough (4+ inches) to support activity. If you don't know, don't go!

Minimum wind chills from this morning, 15 to 25 below zero.
