During the winter months in Wisconsin, many of the lakes and ponds freeze over. In most cases, the sheets of ice covering these bodies of water provide a solid surface for both walking and driving.

However, even when the ice is thick, there is a risk that the ice will crack. When this occurs, both cars and pedestrians could fall through the ice and into the freezing cold water.
