Alberta Environment and Parks advises that warm temperatures can destabilize existing ice covers, leading to shifting ice conditions and changes to the water levels. As ice cover formation and melting takes place, rapid changes in water level can occur. Everyone taking part in activities near rivers and streams should be aware of these ever changing conditions. Basically, new ice covers and melting ice covers are not very strong and travelling on them is not recommended.
