Ice in...Safe?
'Drove from Moultonberry to Alton and saw no open water.This morning I took the small snowmobile out on Braun Bay and headed into the Lake.
The Bay seems very hard. Snow mobile hard, not truck hard.
When I hit the broads I saw nothing but black ice. I'm talking Zamboini quality black ice. If I had my skis on I may have kept going but with a machine with a 150 foot stopping distance and no steering (ice), even a nut like me knows when to call it quits. The trails stink any way.
Heading home I hit this "plate glass" ice, did more donuts than "Dunkin's" and crept back to the barn.
In a quote from "Hill Street Blues" "Let's be careful out there".
