Mentioned to dad if we do not get any snow we could go upriver to get pick-up loads of wood.
River smoothed out pretty good with last weeks melt down. No snow is very hard on the snogos.  Dad does not like being on the river when it is not marked.  I have fun driving on the river. Been on the river with over 80,000lbs. |

Never driven on a frozen body of water. Played hockey on a frozen pond before when I was little, though.

I was on a dive rescue team for 15 years. I've pulled out a couple of dead bodies and have been on a few recovery calls with people that have went through the ice in and out of vehicles. No thanks.
 Diving under the ice for training was pretty cool though.

we drive the rivers here all the time. We are a bit north of you ( I think ) and have more constant cold temps. snowmachines are no problem. There are even a few ice bridges for vehicles later in the year. We have only have a few -40 or so days this year with the crazy weather. The ice is only at about 14'' down where we burbot fish on the chena near the tanana. LAst year this time is was well over 2ft.

Well...I'm down here in TN, so yeah...I generally dislike the attempt to drive on frozen rivers and/or lakes. End results are a wee bit different where I'm from.
E.T.A. Assuming we actually get a lasting pattern of weather cold enough for a lake to freeze over. |

i dislike staying parked for any length of time on ice. its creepy when the plowed out snow on each side is so close that you couldnt open your door quickly if you get in trouble. it would probably happen so fast that you wouldnt have time to bail out anyways, but its still creepy. i dont like seeing water on top of the ice either. i go to a cabin on nancy lake that you can only drive to in winter. the owner of the cabin is nuts, he is usually one of the last ones to use the road. he doesnt drive it in a vehicle he cares about though.

A guy I used to know, now deceased, was up north in the winter time to pick up an antique car, he was a collector. He mentioned to a local who was in the truck with him how much he had always wanted to drive on a lake when it was frozen over, the local told him very pointedly that if he wanted to do that to pull over and let him out first, he had seen too many go through the ice over his lifetime up there.

Its always a little unnreving, especially when you hear the cracks echo through the ice. That said, by january we'll have cities on the lakes with 50 or more fullsize trucks parked side by side with no issues.
Rivers are a different story due to eddies and such but if you know the river and where the slack currents are, its no big deal. |

You couldn't pay me to drive on a frozen body of water. I fell through river ice once-dumbass kid, fucking around when I shouldn't have, but I went through, water was above my 8 year old head and the ice kept breaking ahead of me as I tried to get out. Even on a foot plus of ice, I find it terrifying to walk on, let alone drive-even when "the rules" say it's safe. Everyone has their fears, going through the ice again is one of mine.

Once the rivers and lakes get frozen they are a 'quick/easy' to get from one place to another. Once you learn the system you are, you should know where the warm water is and to stay away from those areas. With snow machines, just go fast and you 'should' skim across any water!

Pretty errie sitting on a river in the middle of no where at night and hearing water drip in the air pocket between the ice and water.
I was considerably more concerned driving on the rivers in a pickup than on a snowmachine. Made good money a few times hooking chains or straps to quads and cars that played on the ponds too early or late. Always got a kick out of the paper's annual article about whatever moron busted thru the Chena in the spring, there was always one. |
