its a shame i was too late and missed them breaking trough the ice, ive a video of the previous year when they needed a sledg hammer, the ice was nowhere near as thick.

Also one of the village elders was telling me that back in the day before health and safety, it was nothing unusual to walk horses across the lake to collect fire wood, and this was the worse for snow he's seen in a very long time :eek:
