tragic and avoidable. the ice was only 2 inches thick!





A suburban Chicago father of three died after he fell through the ice while playing ice hockey with his young son.

Patrick ‘Rocky’ Rorig, 47, fell through two-inch thick ice on the pond behind his house and plummeted into the freezing waters.

He was submerged for 31 minutes before rescuers were able to retrieve his body.

Mr Rorig, who worked as a custom home builder in Johnsburg, is the second person to fall through the ice in the greater Chicago area this month alone.

Justin Ribar, 29, an ice fisherman, died after falling through Pistakee Lake on February 3.

GRAY, Maine — One month after it was postponed because of thin ice, the third annual Crystal Lake Ice Fishing Derby was held last Saturday.

Several hundred anglers competed for more than $10,000 in prizes for everything from the biggest fish to the most patriotic ice shanty.

Clint Jones of Casco won the grand prize, hauling in a 3.14-pound brook trout.

MN has had several deaths this year (and vehicles plunging through, too) as a result of very thin, unstable ice.

Normally, March 1^st would be the date where fish houses are ordered off area lakes, but this year that was changed to early February.

Vehicles have not been allowed on Hennepin County lakes for that past 2 weeks.

Wisconsin
Thirty-six vehicles had to be rescued from Lake Winnebago when the ice they were parked on cracked during a popular fishing tournament.

Organizers had issued safety warnings which the drivers of 50 cars appeared to ignore.

'It was a surprise that that many people chose to park there, but wasn't a surprise as to what happened,' Battle on Bago tournament co-organizer Art Dumke told Fox9.
