Not the Ice Dragon but I'm psyched!
On the other hand, from The Ice Road Newsletter's issue last February:
"Earlier this season, the portion of the road known as “The Slash” north of Moosonee was straightened, removing some of the narrowest and most dangerous parts of the winter road as well as shortening the road by 8 kilometers. This change has made the road safer for all users."
On the other hand, last February:
"If people are driving to Moosonee and don’t have insurance on their vehicles, there is a place to park at the end of the road and as long as you don’t drive into town, the police have indicated that they will not be looking for licenses or insurance."
And for David Rose's benefit (and yours, too):
Q: Why are the roads flooded? Doesn’t it make it more dangerous to drive on?
A: The Winter Road is flooded with water to build up the thickness of the road surface so that it is thick enough to support all the traffic that is driving on it. To help reduce the slipperiness of the road, Winter Road staff use equipment to put grooves in or “scarify” the road surface, especially around turns in the road. The use of scarification has been increased this year to make the road safer."
