RE: Frozen Lake Life ~ #theycallthisicefishing

in #technology3 years ago

Epic post.
I live about 10 min away from a very small lake,
Last week I drove by and saw tons of little tents and people fishing out on it. The thought of it freaks me the fuck out hahaha. I imagine people in the tents create heat.. not to mention HEATERS?!... how do you make sure it’s not enough to start melting the ice to the point you find yourself in the water? Always mind boggles me.

Sort:  

The ice is so thick and the weather so cold that it would take FOREVER to melt through. The lakes stay frozen in Minnesota until April-May. Heaters on the ice may make a little layer of melted water on the surface, but it will never melt through. You could take a pot of boiling water and pour it on the ice and it would freeze as quickly as it sort of melts a tiny bit of ice. Pretty crazy!

I'll take EPIC every day plus Sunday.

Thanks man.

It's a little scary at first, then you understand it...then, you live it.
