12/15/2006 – YO: STAY OFF THE ICE
The Olmsted County Sheriff’s Department is the latest to issue a warning about thin ice. The department is especially concerned about the several flood control reservoirs in the county. While ice has formed on bodies of water across the area, the recent warm weather has weakened much of it and it is no longer considered safe. The same warning has been issued by other law enforcement agencies around most of the state after a run of above-average temperatures that has lasted several days.
