Hello,
I think it is not load up to drive on the ice.
And follow these guide lines
Contact a local bait shop or lakeside resort to ask about ice conditions.
Check ice thickness once you get there.
Temperature, snow cover, currents, springs and rough fish all affect the relative safety of ice. Ice is seldom the same thickness over a single body of water; it can be two feet thick in one place and one inch thick a few yards away. Check the ice at least every 150 feet.
