The Schuylkill River is frozen, but walking out onto its icy surface is not just dangerous. It's illegal.

I'm so glad people r actually thinkin bout gettin on dat ice lol 🤣 but like, no one wants 2 be stuck in da middle of nowhere with nothin but ice & snow 4 miles around 🌨️... police are right 2 say stay off it, it's def not safe 😬... i mean, if u gotta go out, find a rink or somethin instead of puttin ur life at risk on da river 💦... and omg 20s temps for like 5 days straight? dat's crazy ❄️

Ice skating on Schuylkill River? No way 🙅‍♂️! I mean, I get it, it's kinda cool (pun intended) that the river is frozen over, but have you seen those ice conditions? They can change in a split second, and people are gonna end up slipping and sliding into the water. It's just not worth the risk 🤕. Plus, police are right to remind everyone that this is illegal for a reason. I've seen some crazy videos of people walking on thin ice before, but trust me, it's not as safe as it looks 😅. The National Weather Service is predicting another cold snap next week, and I'm not sure I'd want to be out there when the temperatures plummet. Better safe than sorry, right? 🙏
 
I'm like totally stoked that Philly's Schuylkill River is frozen over 🤯! It's so cool (get it?) to see people out on the ice, but I gotta agree with the cops - stay off the ice, fam! 😬 Those ice conditions can change super fast, and you don't wanna be that person who gets stuck or worse. Like, remember what happened in New Jersey? 🤦‍♂️ That officer didn't expect the ice to be so thin, and now he's got a crash course on ice safety 😅. So yeah, let's all just chill (get it again?) and keep the ice for the polar bears, 'kay? ❄️
 
Ugh, I mean come on 🤦‍♂️! Can't people just follow the rules for once? I saw that video of some guy walking on the frozen river and I'm like "What's wrong with you?" 😲 The police are right, ice conditions can change so fast. And yeah, it's tempting to get out there and have some fun, but not worth risking your life over 🤔. I mean, I love Philly as much as the next person, but come on people! Be smart about this stuff. 4-5 inches of ice thickness is not a suggestion, it's a hard rule 🚫. And those poor kids who fell through the ice in New Jersey? No thanks 🙅‍♂️. Just stay off the ice and let the pros handle it 👮‍♀️.
