MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- A warning for people looking to ice fish this week: Turn back around because the warmup we're seeing is making for unsafe conditions.
While there was ice last week, the warmup and precipitation could change that. So, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is warning people to not assume the ice is still safe to be on.
If you do fall in, don't panic. Monitor your breathing and get turned around so you can face the area you went in. Then, make sure to get out of your wet clothes as fast as you can.
