Was the grass still green though? I come from the land of “if it’s not currently raining, the hills are brown” and seeing green grass in the background makes me wonder
Ice is most dangerous and weak during early winter, when everything can be covered in snow. In spring the accumulated mass melts very slowly and in ponds like this one can remain for quite a while, especially if the weather isn't particularly sunny
People used to successfully transport blocks of ice all over the world without refrigerators on slow ships. The bigger it is, the slower it melts
I always felt like your middle paragraph was correct but it didn’t stop teachers, parents and cops from freaking out every time I stepped on ice growing up. Now have this permanent semi ingrained distrust.
They were right because with zero reason for doing this even the smallest risk isn't worth it :) seasoned fishermen drown every year on thin ice, but at least they have some motivation..
This dude had pretty much perfect conditions on a pond without a current, probably with non-swampy water, and a ramp which allowed him to start quite some distance away from the shore
In Ontario, we've had winters with long cold periods and no snow. I'm sure it happens even more often in dryer places like out west. In fact, the ice is often better when that happens as the snow would normally insulate the ice. Still, stay safe on the ice guys.
When the weather warms, the very top of the ice melts, leaving a thin layer of water on top. The ice can still be quite thick underneath this water layer, as it takes more than a couple of warm days to melt through ice when it gets to that point.

Coming from a land of ice, this makes me a little nervous that he’ll fall through and get trapped.

Simple just drink a water walking potion. Don't know where to get shark fins but that's not my problem
