I get the appeal of walking on water, but people from cold places know when the ice is thick enough to this. It clearly was not cold enough for enough time for the ice to get thick enough.

People in Minnesota and other places do things like ATV races on frozen lakes, but that's like a foot thick of ice on top of still water.
