It's so damn beautiful here. That's wild it's that close to your nature in Estonia. Although maybe not too surprising, most of my maternal grandfather's lineage is Scandanavian so perhaps many came here looking to replicate what they knew from home. Is ice fishing as big for you all as it is for us here too?

Well, judging by the nearby lake we have here, I can see many fishermen on the ice during winters 😀
Hell yeah! That's awesome. Our ice is turning that darker grey and the township government's already banned the ice shanties for the season, but there are still plenty of people walking out to keep at it 😄
yeah, and every year there are cases of people falling through and drowning sadly. Some people don't think munch.
Yeah. We had one guy here who drove his very heavy 1980/90s SUV out on the ice this year and naturally sunk it through... then he and his wife spent most of the next day whining on Facebook about the fines they received for it. Lol.
Luckily we don't have many drownings. We also have a superb local ambulance corp which regularly trains for that kind of behavior/emergencies.
Lol, instead of whining they should be celebrating a life they still have. I would never drive on random icy lake. The only way I would go is on a official ice roads that open on some cold winters.
lol, we have so many vehicles out on the bays every year. every 3-4 years one of them goes through. usually the ice is good and thick enough that it's never a problem, but it's in cases like these, where someone takes a really heavy vehicle out, or maybe it's someone new/unfamiliar to the area. i gambled once when i was an idiot kid, made it just fine, and that's enough for me.
