No surprise: ‘Ice is in’ at area lakes

The ice is officially “in” at Lakeville’s Lake Wononscopomuc, see story here. Anyone planning to venture out on frozen surfaces should use extreme caution; patches on all lakes will remain soft and dangerous. Never go out on the ice alone; always carry ice picks (you can make your own by driving two very long nails through two short pieces of wood) to help pull you out if you fall in.
