No one deserves to die. Don’t be a jerk.

It’s actually alot of fun. There’s a real inner peace to being out there first thing in the morning when the world isn’t awake yet. Plus fresh perch through the ice is one of the tastiest fish you can have. But you really need to know and understand the ice conditions. Not everyone enjoys it.

The other pond also has a warning associated with it and a huge crack. Yet people are treating it like a fun spot to chill. We can calculate the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow or just use some common sense and not play on ice when the conditions aren’t safe.

Yea weather, average temperature, wind speed, wind direction, size of the body of water, amount of water moving through the area under the ice, how much ice is already there, amount of water on top of the ice, quality of the ice are just some of the factors. Ice can be dangerous but just because Champlain is unsafe doesn’t mean that other ponds with different factors are. Never assume the spot 15’ ahead of you has the same amount of ice as the spot you’re standing on, let alone the ice across town.

Except he keeps vetoing popular social bills that get passed. Luckily the majority Dems can veto his veto but he’s just not doing things for the average Vermonter. He’s doing things for his party.

I’ve never understood the allure of ice fishing - for this exact reason. What a terrible way to die.

If he’s such a Rino then why doesn’t he just switch party affiliation?

Over 20 bills passed in the last 2 years all having far reaching impact on all of our lives. Be informed and you’ll never look like an ass online. Stay misinformed and wonder why your family and friends hate you.

But isn’t the weather an indication of it’s status?

Ice fishing is going to become a rarity here, I remember whole villages on the lakes of Vermont when I was a kid, and I don’t see them anymore 😔

Hey look everyone. It’s one of those both sides fuckers.

You’re a special kind of stupid aren’t you?

The conditions on Champlain are not indicative of the conditions on other smaller lakes and ponds.

Vermont has a system that allows for state-wide school choice for high school grades, so your place of living may not have to be determined by where you want to go to school. I'm not an expert so ... call the Vermont Department of Education and ask them about high school choice. You will also want to check local school district policies of the place you live if it is separate from where you want to attend HS.

So short answer: call VT Dept of ED and ask about public high school choice.

No.

They provide additional boyancy to keep you from going under for a limited period of time (normally about 2hrs). That protects you from the immediate danger (drowning) which gives time to self rescue (using ice picks to crawl out) or be rescued.

You still need to dry off and heat up as soon as possible.

Thanks, everyone! This is really helpful information and I think we’ll probably go for it. One thing I’m unsure of is the actual power requirements. I did the site survey via pictures and they haven’t said anything regarding upgrades to service so I think we’re just going to give it a shot and see what happens. Not really in a place to do a bunch of upgrades so hopefully that’s not the case! In any case, thank you all again!

Damn, forgive me but this is awesome. Prior to legalization, you would have just gotten sick. Now we test. Sounds like a win to me

Come to the upper valley, it's nice here. The only idiot drivers are from the local high school, and of course NH. Obviously that's not entirely true, but highway traffic doesn't exist. My commute to St J takes 30 minutes and I'm lucky if I see more than 20 cars on my side over 25 miles.

You are the problem. Just wanted you to know that. Behaving in escalatory behavior like that just shows the world how emotionally immature you are. You sound just like every road rage bro I've ever dealt with: dumb.

No it's not an example of that. Where in all that description did we read about the other driver making a poor choice? We didn't. All we know is they came from the other side of the highway.

You may well be correct, and probably are. Let's not pretend that mechanical failure, tire failure etc can all cause accidents at no fault of the owner/driver.

Excellent read, thank you.

Clones are also an option if you don't mind taking a trip to Maine.

Cultivators are supposed to have their harvest lots tested for pesticides before it reaches the market. The test results aren't "way off," however, representative sampling is ambiguous and you're going to see high variability in cannabinoid content from sample to sample within a lot.
