A heavy mooring block, warmed by the sun, would slowly sink through the ice. Freshly skidded to its
permitted location, it would initially present a nasty, but shrinking, hazard--starting at about 14-inches.
Within the past several days, shoreline erosion here has allowed a
four-foot boulder to roll right to the edge of today's water level. Had the ice been "in", the boulder would've had the inertia to skid further out--beyond where authorities could allow a legal mooring permit!
Given certain wind conditions, a boulder could arrive many feet out!
My neighbor has a six-foot boulder resting under water about forty feet from shore. Who knows where it would have come to rest under "ice-in" conditions?
Like PWCs, it would be
prudent for operators of "sleds" to stay 150-feet away from shore--especially at night!

Good idea, but help may be on the way shortly.
