He'd drive it out on the lake and plow off the snow, giving us a skating rink the size of a football field.<br /><br />I wonder if the ice still gets that way in January, now that we have this overheated planet?<br /><br />As a side note, ice can be quite thick and yet not support much weight. This condition is especially likely to arise in late winter, when the ice may resemble slush more than a solid mass.<br /><br />Having lived in Russia, Cory, I reckon you know all this stuff.Stan Gibiliscohttp://members.authorsguild.net/stangibnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329279.post-19446463240125408852010-12-01T18:33:32.597-07:002010-12-01T18:33:32.597-07:00But Doc, I walked really, really slowly!
