Not the brightest idea
A friend and I went on a nice little hike this past Sunday to a frozen Lost Lake in Larrabee State Park
This could have been much, much worse. The wind was picking up, which you can see in the video, the snow was starting to come down hard, and we were loosing daylight. On top of that, my friend had just fallen into a frozen lake… Needless to say, he was (and we were) very lucky to have brought an additional pair of pants.
So, always be prepared, know the conditions and don’t make the mistakes we made.

Yes. Reminds me of my buddy falling into Seward Lagoon in January and having to ride home to Anchorage 120 miles in a opel kadet with no heat. You remember Chester from Gunsmoke?

… I reckon you’ll remember your Scout skills & 10-essentials from now on!

Holy cow! I’m glad everyone was okay, that sounds pretty dangerous.
