North Bay - O.P.P. are warning snowmobilers that area bodies of water are not deemed safe at this time. OPP received a couple of reports of vehicles through the ice today. No injuries were reported.

Travelling on frozen lakes or rivers with snowmobiles or vehicles can be particularly dangerous and added precautions must be taken. At least 20 centimetres (eight inches) of clear blue ice is required for snowmobiles and 30 centimetres (12 inches) or more is needed for most light vehicles. Double this amount if the ice is white or opaque.
