thin ice | 6:46 am | 29 January 2007
It used to be that some yahoo falling through the ice was the first sign of spring here, like robins are for less ice-fishing states. This winter* has been pretty warm; Lake Monona only froze recently, and not very much. News trucks are now driving into the icy waters to warn others of the danger.
OK, it’s 12°F right now, but this is a new thing

Ch. 58 took their lumps on that one pretty well.
But man, I bet there is no end in sight to the tormenting of the van’s driver at station HQ. :)
