Thought for the Week
“It’s not what you look at that matters, it’s what you see.”
Henry David Thoreau
Nature Trivia Question
Answer to Last Week’s Question:
The ice on a lake or pond must be at least 4″ thick to walk on or ice fish. At least 5″ thick for snowmobiling, 8″-12″ thick to drive a car or small pickup truck on, and 12″-15″ for a medium truck to be driven on the ice. If the ice is 2″ or less, it is not safe, stay off.
Remember that these thicknesses are merely guidelines for new, clear, solid ice. Many factors other than thickness can cause ice to be unsafe.
This Week’s Question:
What does the scientific name, Canis latrans translate as?
