BISSETT LAKE – THIN ICE
Students are not to walk on the extremely thin ice that is on Bissett Lake or any lake/pond/body of water!  Just because the weather is cold enough for there to be ice on ponds and lakes does not mean that ice is thick enough to safely skate or walk on. A lot of factors can impact ice thickness such as water depth, fluctuations in water levels, changing air temperature, docks and rocks absorbing heat from the sun and shock waves from vehicles travelling on the ice. Ice thickness can change as quickly as the weather does, so always be sure to check – with an adult - even if the ice was safe the day before.
