It has been a long time since most of those places have been cold enough, long enough, to have a lake become that solidly frozen. It has been 30+ years since I have seen this happen in the mid atlantic.

I’ve lived in the mid Atlantic my entire life and have never driven on a frozen lake.

I do my donuts in parking lots that haven’t been salted or plowed yet.

back in the 90s there was a couple times lakes in western PA/NY froze over enough people were out driving on them.
