The big problem here in Rhode Island, especially in our lakes and ponds, is that the weather is very fickle. We don?t have consistent periods of low freezing temperatures. We?re not northern New England and we?re not one of the Great Lake states where the ice gets thick and firm. |
The safest ice is man-made ice. |
We don?t consider the ice safe, you can see there?s open water. Our recommendation is stay off any partially frozen lakes or ponds in the state. |
