We had a Sheriff's Department training dive scheduled with local fire departments and our safety and rescue. They canceled on Friday due to the weather reports. It had been about a month since we went diving so we decided to go...... 8 to 12 hours of work and preparation for 45 minutes of diving!
YouTube - Ice dive in Blizzard Conditions, Green Lake MN on Dec 11th 2010.wmv
The video isn't much, with all the snow that was piling up on the ice not much light could get through. We had located something with a side scan sonar on earlier training in the summer, we thought it was a boat but it turned out to be a fish crib.There are a couple of good pics of our setup and the weather conditions. Our first shelter collapsed much like the one at Metrodome, because of the wind not the snow load.
So when you guys think it's cold, remember it could be a lot worse I think it was 15-25 below zero with the windchill
I will always think of the dive adventure when I hear about the 2010 blizzard
