Hunters should have proper food and clothing, and check the latest forecast. Visibilities are sometimes down to zero in blizzards thanks to falling snow or blowing snow, and winds frequently gusting to over 35 mph. Blizzards cause accidents that can kill the driver, passengers, or pedestrians. In every winter there are situations where someone or their vehicle falls through thin ice. Don't walk, fish, or drive on thin ice.
Thin ice is more likely early in the winter, and toward spring.
In every Wisconsin winter several people die to cold-weather hypothermia. For many reasons, people slip and fall on slippery pavement, hit their head, and become unconscious. If no one finds them, they freeze to death. Some people have been known to leave their snow-stuck vehicle and attempt to walk to a home or building in the distance, only to become exhausted, and die after their body temperature falls to dangerous levels. Drive with a full tank of gas and stay with your snow-stuck vehicle, occasionally running the heater.
