Ice thickness safe to play on Lake Wallenpaupack, Hawley

Snow on wooded branches and back roads. Enjoying the peace before atv's (all terrain vehicle) and snow mobiles arrive. Saw the first ice fisherperson in the shallow cove today.

Lake Wallenpaupack WOW, look at all that open "tundra" space to play on Lake Wallenpaupack! Wait, Is the Ice Safe?

Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission put this wonderful flyer together to help you/me have fun on the ice. With 12 miles of Lake Wallenpaupack and couple miles of Wallenpaupack River plus surrounding smaller ponds in Pike and Wayne Counties, this flyer came in handy for me.

The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission flyer helps you determine safety play based upon your activity weight upon the ice: How much ice thickness is required to support the weight of your activity upon it?

  • Ice may not be the same thickness all over;
  • Stay away from 'stickups' like brush, logs, plants or docks;
  • Stay away from multiple pressure cracks; Spread out because crowds can add to much weight in the same area;
  • Be extra careful on rivers and streams. The ice may look thicker than it really is, because moving water wears ice from underneath;
  • Make sure you study the ice safety chart so you know when it's safe to go on the ice

http://www.fishandboat.com/anglerboater/2001/jf2001/playicechart.pdf If the pdf Flyer doesn't open up for you, I can e-mail you the flyer. E-mail Debbie Friese, Associate Broker at debbiegL@ptd.net or www.PoconoRealEstatepro.com

Couple weeks earlier my friend was telling me of his atv plow used to clear off the pond for play with the holiday visitors that resulted in the need to call a tow truck to pull the atv out of the pond. The ice was not thick enough for ice play. I sent the flyer over to my friend.

Have fun this winter and thought maybe we should wear life jackets too!

Wishing all a Warm and Safe Labor day from Lake Wallenpaupack, Hawley, Pennsylvania

Beautiful Weekend is HERE!

Counting down the minutes to LABOR DAY Weekend on the Paupack and thinking what a wide variety of weather we have experienced while showing homes here in the Pocono Mountains of Lake Wallenpaupack, Pennsylvania. One day, get the rain gear on and don't take the gear off for 5 weeks to waking the next month with "Wow, the humidity slammed in" to now having clear blue days and cool nights. I could not help thinking while going thru this crazy weather season showing homes to clients, if the house is not flooding or floating away or the home is keeping energy efficient with the fast weather change then you found your next home! Don not wait, put the offer in and let us see where the final sale price will be agreed upon between you and the seller.

If you see me out and about, come sit, will have drink ready. Looking towards the up coming months and can not help take notice of the current fixed rates for mortgages.

Wishing all a Warm and Safe Labor day :o)
