The ice is an average of half as thick as usual for this time of year.

The southern coastline is ice-free at the moment. Rivers in southern parts of the country also show no notable ice formation.

Officials warn against walking on ice, especially near currents.

Despite the weak ice, few cases of people falling through ice have been reported so far.
