Many lakes and waterways across Finland will freeze over this weekend and a snowstorm is forecast for the south.

The thickness of the ice at Haukivesi on Lake Saimaa is estimated by the local Ely centre to be about 15 centimeters thick.

This means that it should be possible to walk, ski or skate on the surface of some lakes.

An average of 18 people drown in Finland every year as a result of falling through weak ice.
