Our view: Don’t take chance on ice
An ATV rider who fell through the ice on Bangs Lake in Wauconda last week is a lucky man.
He clung to a tire until rescuers were able to pull him, alive, from the water.
With that in mind, we wouldn’t advise taking any chances on frozen-over lakes, ponds and other bodies of water this winter. Not with temperatures rising and falling above freezing as frequently as they have.
