You folks are crazy- cold must be messin' with your heads or something.

;)

Seriously, looks like a lot of fun. How many meters deep is the ice over the water? Do you know what it is yet?

It wasn't that cold this Saturday.. -22°, last week was -36°.. then you need to add in the windchill!

If you live somewhere where lakes freeze, get out your shovel, spiked tires and have a blast!

It was about 800m, we had to shovel the whole thing, so it was limited... ;)
