ice thickness

Did not take a picture on yesterday's walk-just imagine a fresh,crisp white sheet stretched tight over a bed-it was flawless.This morning water has wicked up between the cracks and stained the fresh snow,leaving 2' wide streaks running in several directions.While drilling a hole to check thickness the ice was protesting under my weight--we are up to 1 1/2" @ our landing. The following is measurments I took from a magazine years ago-they are only a guideline! Know before you go!!
2"= 1 person on foot
3"= group single file
4"= snowmobile
7 1/2" car
10" truck
