This incident is one of several this winter due to unseasonably warm temperatures weakening the ice. State authorities have repeatedly warned about the dangers of thin ice, advising against venturing onto lakes with less than four inches of ice. An estimated 150,000 anglers ice fish in Minnesota each winter.
