The Coast Guard last checked the ice situation on 23.12. and found the ice to be of lower quality than expected. You shouldn’t go on the ice yet, at least before the new year.
– The ice may be thick, but it is slushy. There isn’t much steel ice below.
Söderström states that the storm a couple of weeks ago pushed masses of water onto the shores, and air pockets have formed in places between the ice.
– We hope that we will not go on the ice during the Christmas holidays, even if the weather is favorable. The long-term weather forecast also promises sleet, so you shouldn’t go on the ice before the new year, Söderström says.
