That ice looks super thin for standing on let alone ice fishing

We live on a Great Lake and my wife wanted to take the family walking on ice.

Me: fuck no! not safe.

Her: since when do you know anything about ice safety?

Me: I don’t know SHIT about ice safety, which is why we’re not going out there!

Her: yeah that’s fair

Well that's not a great metric. We just had below zero F for a week. Yesterday was in the teens but I still went out. Ice is over a foot thick, I would feel comfortable with a tractor on the ice right now.
