snow

I like it so bitter cold that when you go outside the hair in your nose freezes and you know if you stay out too long, you'll die. Then you know that you are alive.

The best day of fishing I ever had was a few years ago with my father-in-law. We went to a private lake. It was 22 degrees below zero Fahrenheit. The sun was blazing and the wind was howling and blowing drift snow into our eyes and it was so bright that you could hardly see. The holes were freezing over every couple of minutes. We were over two feet of water and pulled out about a dozen large perch. My father-in-law caught the biggest perch of his life and smiled from ear to frozen ear. /w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif

I'm not sure how big a pile I need at the end. The one my friend went up and over was as tall as the top of my ROPS. Thanks to the ice, she didn't slow down one bit!

Try sprinkleing some loose hay on top of the ice, and let it freeze down. It will slow you down suffeicently, but not suddenly.

MossRoad,
I know of a place where someone drove their pickup on the ice just once. Somehow it escaped his attention that it's not smart to drive on ice near an incoming stream. I believe the insurance company totaled it! And no, it wasn't me.

I saw a video of a whole line of cars and light trucks heading out onto the ice to go fishing. About 5-10 vehicles went down a boat ramp and onto the lake until some guy in a monster 4X4 came down the ramp and just kept going right up to the windows. They climbed out the rear window and stood on the roof looking upset /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif
