We have some reports of people crossing the lakes or rivers. Everyone should know that the ice is not very thick and it not safe enough to cross. If you decide to cross you are doing so at your own risk. If you fall through we will not be able to rescue you safely and water rescue is approx 45 minutes away. You will also be putting the rescuer at risk as well. So please do not go on the lakes and rivers. The weather is up and down. Gets cold and warm. We have not had and very cold weather to freeze the ice.
