its that time of year again (for some of us) where there is ice. this little clip that was made by discovery channel canada, shows what to do and gives good information on how your body reacts when you fall through the ice into water.

you know what, I was going to make some jokes about this, but i watched it instead. I learned a lot, thanks for sharing with us.
Here in Seattle, we rarely have ice, but the water in Puget Sound is typically very cold (below 55 all year round) and i formerly believed that i would not last 10 minutes in it even though i can swim.
thanks again!

When I experienced my first winter in my DH's hometown in Maine, I saw what appeared to be an outhouse in the middle of a small lake just sitting on the ice. Sure enough, it was where fishermen set up "shop" by cutting a hole in the ice to fish and what ever else.... I was convinced everytime I saw one that it would fall through the ice so I was to afraid to venture out for a closer look.
Now I guess I can cuz I'd know what to do if my fear became a reality. Thanks Chick.
