Dude proves Lake Michigan is frozen as he walks a mile out on it

Some dude caught the attention of people in high rises along the lakefront as he made his way out about a mile offshore. WGN got the tip and sent their Sky Cam out to figure out what the heck was going on.

He says he got lost and didn’t know he was on the lake?! Yeah. I remember my first beer. Thankfully this story has a happy ending, as he was safely returned to shore courtesy of some brave first responders. <3 Lauren
