I am scared to death of ice. Fell through as a kid.

Went on my pond (1 ac) the other day and heard the real deep sounding cracks, sounds like a deep boom. Well my ice is 5" thick and it still stress cracked just from my weight. Spudded a couples holes around the pond, 5-6 inches everywhere.

Spent years as a kid ice fishing with dad and grandpa. Couple times as the wind would come up or sun would come out. You would hear those same deep sounds. Did actually see the ice open up once like you say. Had to jump over it. You could see the ice was thick, at least 6 inches.

Dad and grandpa said that was just stress cracking from the wind or sun. Still kinda eerie.

I"ll wait for someone a lot smarter than me to answer your question, cause I still wonder how you know when the ice is trully safe.
