Ugh, that sucks. I rarely park on the ice and if I do it's usually < 1 FOW.

 

Maybe it's just me, but I found those two news anchors incredibly annoying. I'd go nuts if I had to watch them on a regular basis.

[smally21]

maybe its got something to do with the weather, you know, its above freezing almost all the time these days.

 

i hear ya on the news anchors. i couldn't even watch the whole clip.

I've been waiting to see how long it's going to be before it happens at Virginia Beach. It's beyond me why everyone parks so close together , It's like they want to sink

Hey mike I was on simcoe a few years back and I watched a whack of cars go through. It was one big crack and then just slow motion, same thing 10 to 12 inches, people dont think, if they were driving a big rig they may worry but nobody adds up the weight of the combined vehicles. I have a hard time parking on the ice because I am ususally one of the first on and last off, it is the dumb my mom hates me that park around me when gone that scares me. The best part was I was with a group of three and I had my limit, and my buddies had just a few to go so headed back early to get the vehicle warmed up (we parked on land) but I took the other 2 guys fish with me. At the time the cars went through A CO was just asking me about my day and licence. What great timing, or I could have been in a tight spot with some explaining to do. He said have a nice day and made a call. Hey to all try to park a little out of the way from the weekend citidiots,to avoid this. the tow truck was getting 800 cash. he had a great day.

good thing I carry 900 when I go fishing. I guess if you weren't carrying that much $ you could always drive to the bank machine...

30 cars parked tight together on 12 inches of ice...what a gong show.

~~~I remember when Gord Booth ran Kingfishers out of Virgina Beach, he had Frank an old friend there directing people where to park, then a convoy of our southern cousins arrived and igorned Frank and parked tight together, and sure enough the ice gave, and it cost up to $400. just to be hooked up and tow out.
