Earlier this week, a Maine Warden pilot went through the thin ice on a northern Maine lake with his Cessna 185 on skis. He got out without injury, but it could have been much worse. Here is a video of an Army Guard Black Hawk helicopter lifting it out.
The first half is pretty shaky since the guy taking the vid is shivering from the cold. It improves.

Good job! But what's all that white stuff on the ground and the lake?

It's that stuff I know you wish you got more of in Virginia, Don.
We're definitely going to have a white Christmas here.

We actually did have enough snow to turn the grass white in the morning a couple of weeks ago. But snow is becoming more rare every year now. It's about noon on December 23rd, with a high overcast and 61 F.

Many don't realize that snow insulates ice - Then the water below melts it & what may have been 10 inches becomes markedly
thinner. Years ago I checked out a lake prior to two weeks of sub zero weather. Prior to a big snow it was thick enough to land on
Skis. Several weeks later two friends & I in a PA 20 landed & found ourselves with water splashing by both wings. We poured on
the power & mushed along 'til we took off the carb heat. Just barely got airborne & made it out / Ducked a bullet that day &
learned a good lesson - The Best lesson was moving to Sebring, Florida & getting a Searey...
