2 fall through ice and die here
Seems like this happens every year here in Wisconsin. Usually it's drunk snowmobilers. This time a ten year old girl and her dad who were out on a walk. I always wonder when the first will happen. I didn't expect it would happen this soon and right here in our little bedroom community though. Apparently the girl went out on ice that formed over a drainage culvert. Normally the water wouldn't be very deep, but still, not a good idea. I guess the ice was thinner and the water was deeper than she thought. Hell-it was 58 degrees only 3 days ago with no ice anywhere-what were they thinking? She went in and Dad went to save her. Very sad.
I'm sure Monday will be bad at school for all the kids in the village when they all find out. It's a pretty tight knit community. I'm sure most of you are too smart for this, but a warning anyway-Keep the hell off the ice and educate your kids as to the dangers of thin ice.
