Truck Falls Through the Ice on Storm Lake

Actually, I think it is the force of gravity.

Damn, that Isaac Newton!

Back in the day, we used to drive on the ice all the time without incident. But, back then, Ice was stronger, and colder..........

Darn that Global Warming these days...

I know people do it all the time, but 15" of ice means nothing near an inlet to a lake. Flowing water means you will have a high probability of holes due to turbulence causing uneven freezing. Dumb move.

It had little to do with being by the inlet, the geese were keeping an area of the lake open and the guys in the truck found said area. It happens quite a bit at all times of the year, if there is a large flock of waterfowl on a lake certain areas are risky.

Its more likely that these two guys caught too many fish the day before. When they returned to the scene of the crime the remaining fish were enraged when they found the truck driving out onto the ice. So they gathered a large school to swirl underneath the ice in the direct path of the truck. The fish had the last laugh..

Gravity - It's not just a good idea; it's the law!

Jokes aside I hear they're catching some nice Walleyes out at SL. I can't wait to hit that up this weekend.

You were probably driving uphill both ways back then. Ice is stronger and therefore less likely to crack when you're going uphill.

Then I guess these two were just law breakers, huh?

You can only evade Johnny Law for so long before he catches up with you...
