Ice cracking.... is it really that scary??

[arcFlash]

Sometime I find it intriguing. Most times I do not. I've had cracks pop so loud that I could feel the pressure wave hit my head. I don't really care for it and I can say it's startled me many times. It makes me tense and I lose the fine sense of being. That is, I feel right in my gear and I listen for bubble and such to 'monitor' myself. Pops and crack distract me.

Don't let it keep you out of the best season we have.
