[QUOTE="Allen, post: 250700, member: 389"] It's a lot easier to have this happen than a person may think. Here's how I think it probably happened. 1. Go fishing, nothing unusual happens while on ice, so you leave it there because you caught a fish. It is, afterall...a permanent. 2. Crappy weather brings in a lot of cold weather and heavy snow with wind. 3. Because of weather, you get to house becaues access is blown in. Might even be hard to get there for a week! 4. Cold weather creates expansion of ice, heavy snow on top of ice near drifted in fish house causes the ice surface to sink. Remember, you've now just put a lot of extra weight on the ice with the house and all the snow. Now the cracks caused by the expanding ice allows water to come up and soak the snow around the house. 5. House is now iced in. Nobody's fault and this falls under the SHIPO rule (Shit Happens & Poop Occurs). While this sounds like an extreme example of the above, if you have never seen the above conditions, you probably don't get out on the ice very much. I've seen it several times over the years and I hardly ever icefish anymore. [/QUOTE]
