I drove to the island today the ice is 13 to 16 inches. Please look out for drifts. The ice was
Thinner under them and keep the speed down driving fast is not safe. And remember the ice is never safe. I did not test the whole bay so do not drive all over unless you check the ice.

Re: Ice Not Safe

I did walk out and checked the ice just like I do every year. I found 16 inches of ice everywhere I checked. ...

Re: kite tonight

KITE NIGHT
Safety first
Over flying your lights is dangerous.
Know who else is out use the buddy system when possible.
Front and rear lights on your helmet. Lights on your kite will help other people see you. Do not leave your lines out wind them up when you parked.

Be safe have fun.
