nope...no hurry to find out, either. The lee end of the pond was frozen all the way along the shoreline and the opposite side was partially open along the shore. This was enough to minimize my curiosity. I expect that the coming week's prediction of consistent sub-freezing temps will raise my curiosity a bit by next week-end. What is a quick, down & dirty (hesitant to use that phrase) way to check if ice is safe to walk on?
