Only over the past few days has the ice begun forming on Wawa Lake. This photograph was taken at 3:50 p.m. Wednesday afternoon. Soggy around the edges and patchy towards the depths of the lake – it really did look pretty; the fresh snow on the ice and the dark snow squally skies. Not an hour later I got a call that there was a snowmachine through the ice!<\/p>\n

We see it every winter – snowmobilers so anxious to race over the newly formed ice, to be the first to run the ice from Dr. Rose’s Beach to Watson’s.<\/p>\n

Well, whoever belonged to this snowmachine certainly got baptized! The trail in the ice from the snowmachine and of the wading\/swimming snowmobiler is quite clear. The machine did put up a good fight, breaking ice for about 50 feet before sinking and dumping its rider into the water.<\/p>\n

If you are headed out on the ice, remember that\u00a0every winter, 25 to 30 Canadians die in ice-related incidents. Please, don’t become a statistic.<\/p>\n
