We want to share a very pertinent message from our friends at Boone County Water Rescue Team. Ice related incidents are becoming increasingly more common as this weather persists!!

Don’t let frigid temperatures fool you into thinking frozen lakes or ponds are safe.

When snow covers the ice, it can actually make conditions more dangerous. Snow acts as an insulator, slowing ice formation, and the added weight can push the ice down—creating weak, slushy areas. That’s why some people are seeing water coming up through cracks or holes.

Please stay off the ice. When walking in unfamiliar areas, be mindful that snow-covered ground could be hiding a pond or body of water.

If a person or pet falls through the ice, call 9-1-1 immediately. Do not attempt a rescue yourself.
