Safety first. Please don't go out on unknown ice in the suburbs. Frozen water doesn't equal skating ice. It New England, it happens in the spring when the ice is thick, a light rain falls, and freezes over night.
Most frozen natural ice is bumpy, and can be thin where the current runs under it. Ice rinks have a Zamboni every hour or so because it is necessary.
