    Am from NE Ohio and have never heard people driving on frozen lakes except to ice fish. We would do donuts in large parking lots. Bonus if you do it with the windows down. Bumper skiing was another one. Ah to be young and insane again…

      But snow isn’t particularly slippery, the only way that works properly is if there’s a layer of ice underneath. So you need a warmish day with some rain, followed by a bitter cold night, followed by a dusting of fresh snow to really lose traction in a parking lot.
