There used to be a crew that would ski the rock river down here at the outlet of lake koshkonong in January feb, same temps one time it would freeze right would be a week of sub zero nights. They were always in neoprean suits with just their face exposed.
2014 I shot a wedding on Madeleine island in superior, no ice on the lake but in the bay were a ton of bergs. This lady let here 9-10 year old son walk 50-75 yards off shore on these bergs. People were telling her to get him in and she’s like hehe boys will be boys. I went out there and said you understand he takes one miss step he’s dead right? She looks at me ? what, I said that water is 34-35 degrees his 80# body goes in he’ll never come back up those bergs will close he’s gone. She blew me off like I was an asshole (which I am lol) but seriously how stupid can you be?!?
