BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) â The United States Coast Guard is reminding you to avoid weak ice on Lake Erie and Lake Ontario.
The Coast Guard says current ice thicknesses are far below past seasonal averages, resulting in unstable, weak ice formation and extremely hazardous conditions.
Coast Guard officials are also advising the public not venture out on the ice, even if others are doing it.
