11. Some cold facts about ice New ice is usually stronger than old ice. Ice seldom freezes uniformly. Ice formed over flowing water and currents is often dangerous. The insulating effect of snow slows down the freezing process. Booming and cracking ice isn't necessarily dangerous. Schools of fish or flocks of waterfowl can also adversely affect the relative safety of ice. – Ref: MN DNR

12. Holiday Light Safety

13. Holiday Lights Indoors or outside, use only lights that have been tested for safety. Identify these by the label from an independent testing laboratory. Check each set of lights, new or old, for broken or cracked sockets, frayed or bare wires, Fasten outdoor lights securely to protect from wind damage. Use no more than three standard-size sets of lights per single extension cord. Turn off all lights on trees and other decorations when you go to bed Never use electric lights on a metallic tree. The tree can become charged with electricity from faulty lights
