One year, a few years back, we had some guys on December 24th ice fishing on 2 inches of ice. But the water was only 4 feet deep. Even if I know the ice is thick , I bring spikes around my neck, to pull myself out with. I've fallen through over a spring when the ice was thick enough, luckily it was shallow water.

A guy at my work was out there earlier in the day. He said it was 8-10" close to shore, and got thinner as you went out. They got to where it was 5" and turned around. 4-6" is recommended for ATVs. The guys were in a side by side which is almost a VW beetle sized ATV. I'm guessing 4" of ice. In the first week of January, the lake temp was still in the 50s! Crazy.

I've had Burlington cops take my $250 from an $8/hr job, back in the day, because I had weed, and bitch about how little they make. Like c'mon, I'm sure starting pay isn't great, but it's still not terrible. They always thought they had some huge drug bust with hard shit and got pissed it was just weed. I got pardoned by Shumlin tho.
