This is very odd but amazing.


Doesn't this happen every year on Lake Erie?

I just heard an interview from law enforcement. The guy was pretty
****ed about a "$40,000" rescue "putting firefighters and CG in
peril". He has put an emergency mandate in effect, anybody on the ice
will be "put in jail"... *Didn't catch his positition or area of
jurisdiction, just caught the end of the interview.

I listened to the interview. *The reporter wanted to talk about the rescue,
etc., and the sheriff just kept going back to blasting the
"non-professional" *fishing idiots that were on the ice.
He was really ****ed off.


Towards the end, the reporter asked if there were any signs or anything
warning people to stay off the ice. *He admitted that there were not.

This usually happens every year on Lake Simcoe.


Wow, the ice melts every year there? Amazing!
