DOCK OWNERS GET ICY REMINDER

LAKE OF THE OZARKS, Mo. -- Dock owners awoke Friday to a hard winter reminder -- ice. It's innocent enough when 40-degree temperatures are on the way, but can be disastrous under other conditions. Sustained frigid temperatures will freeze surface water around docks, lifts and boats, prompting all kinds of expensive repairs.

This causes major structural stress, can break joints and twist boatlifts.
