Just saw on the 11 news two vechiles went down in the cities,The sheriff out here just today closed down the west access to Diamond. Most our snow is gone and with the dark surfaces exposed to sun it sure is warming up quickly,All the clothing needed outside right now is a spring/Fall jacket.

I don't think there's any that cover you going through.

Mine covers me, I made sure and asked when I got it

This year so far....
Lake Riley
Petier Lake
Bald Eagle Lake - Vehicle traveling over an ice heave
Prior Lake X 2 - Dodge P/U plucked out as reported by Kyhl above.
Buffalo Lake
Fish Lake - Jeep Cherokee - 2 1/2 feet of water - overall ice to thin
Lake Bemidji
Red Lake - Drove through and ignored marked areas indicating bad ice!!!
Gull Lake -
Rice Lake - Eden Lake Township - Truck partially submerged
And the Ramsey County Sheriff's dept has closed all vehicle traffic on Bald Eagle and Turtle. 

If I owned the insurance company, no way would I cover someone for this. This is entirely the fault of the vehicle owner. Thing is we all pay for this garbage if it's covered because enough brain damaged people drive on thin ice and go through and all rates go up.

My buddy is on Whitebear right now. He says there's 10-12" off ice with full sized trucks out there.

Thats the kind of stupidity that results in threads like this.

Between the time I started this thread up to now, there have been two through the ice out this way 2 for sure and maybe a third,Diamond,BigKandiyohi and ?? Green.

People the exercise you get from walking out will do you some good. Stop being so lazy.

I  dont have a wheeler or a sled so the exercise I get from draggin my gear is a good thing.

Maybe you could answer this for me sparcebag! Let's imagine that ULT and glenn57 drove out on Lake X and dropped their vehicle through the ice!(doofus's! doofi?) What extraordinary length's would you have to go through before you dared to try starting your engine? :dontknow:DIRTBALL2

A lot... you'd have to atleast drain all the fluids and drive everying in the engine.  Take it all apart and seperate everything, then put it back together and put new fluids in.

It will probably take a few weeks and cost a fortune in labor, unless you try it yourself.  Depending on the car it would be better just buying a new one.

I had a demo car that got water in the gas tank and I got lucky with that one, just had to remove the gas tank empty it and put in new gas then run it through the engin without starting it to ensure all the water was out.  Once I got it all dried she ran fine... for the most part.

I believe ULT answered that! I do have a heavy 30ft logging chain. Glenn could take it down to ULT hook er up to the truck,put a LARGE balloon on the other end and with all their hot air>> Well you get the idea!

  A fellow who went through 2 years back,truck was down 3 days bad weather! Towed it to a local garage fired right up,after the fuel tank was drained and refilled.Think about a engine its totally sealed,Only way water can get in is through the exhaust,depending how it settles on bottom,The engine is higher than the exhaust and full of air,if the air cant get out water cant get in...Another Engineering theory proven=water displacement

I hardly drink,When I do its all bottles,But catch me comming home from Calhoun lake out here or many other spots you'd think I was a heavy drinker,I even once hauled home 4 -5 gallon plastic fuel cans filled with tranny fluid and oil SLOBS!!! Our DNR stops looks and leaves figure that out!! Picking up nothing!

Here is a pic of the truck on White Bear Lake...

Hey Honey....guess what happened to me at the lake today!!!

It depends on the lake.   Some lakes are good and some are not so good.  It drives me nuts when people say the ice isn't good enough for ice fishing because one persone went threw on one lake.
