The warming temperatures Thursday led to dangerous conditions on area lakes.

Emergency crews are searching for a 70-year-old man after an ATV dropped through thin ice on Lake Elizabeth in Twin Lakes, Wisconsin.

By Thursday evening, the search had become a recovery operation, police said. It was pause for the night after 9 p.m. and will resume at 7:30 a.m. Friday, police said.
