Feather because it doesn't make sense
Answer:
My response would be:
The reader learns that the ice is very thin. They know this because in the phrase "It was early winter and the ice on the lake wasn’t thick enough to support the sled and team or I would have gone across the middle." It clearly states the ice wasn't thick enough to go across the lake. This prepares the reader for what happens in the story by foreshadowing the ice cracking later on in the story.
(I don't know if the ice will crack later on in the story though)

<span>There is some truth to
this myth backed up by science explanation. A snake’s nervous system will still
be functional for approximately 10 to 12 hours after they are pronounced dead.
So probably that is where the myth or saying “a snake wont die til the sun goes
down” came from. Because 10 to 12 hours is enough time from the morning for the
sun to set down, and the nervous system will be completely dysfunctional and
only will be then that the snake is truly dead. So the best way to ensure the
snake does not bite you or attack you is to kill it, cut off its head and bury
it so that its nervous system will be readily dysfunctional.</span>
