DIY ice safety ring made from kids noodle.

I made this up in about a half hour. Hope I never need it but good to have along. 

This strange weather may make for some bad ice.

Thank you for this. I'll be making one of those for sure.

Im not sure if you have ever saved a person that fell through the ice. The guy I pulled out took hold of the rope under the surface of the water. He totally disappeared when he let go of his sled. I would suggest that your float have a tail with a weight. Also the man was not able to be instructed to put noodle around his neck as he was severely paniced and locked up in a fetal position

Anything is better than nothing for trying to help people but getting a floatation suit is probably the best investment you can make for yourself at least. The most dangerous (and frightening thought) aspect is falling through and then not being able to either find or get to the hole to come back up. The floatation suit prevents you from going under the ice where virtually any throwable device will be useless.
