Comments:
1)See comments by Mark Bostick on this list today.

2)See comments by Marco Langbroek on this list today, needs more info,
seems it was at least mainly a fall on firm ground.

3) Harvey H. Nininger found just ~1g (TKW) of this meteorite in black SNOW that
search parties had found over 2 months afterwards. Nininger comments on this
in his autobiography: 'Find a Falling Star' pp.233-35. He mention no lakes.
Needs more info. Bruderheim also mentioned on pp 223-4.
The Revelstoke entry size was said to be a million tons, by the way!

4) Vilna was found in SNOW on a lake. And is just 144 milligram! But still fits
the criteria, I would say. I found this myself yesterday, doing a new search!

5) Likely, a hole 20x18 cm was found on a small lake,
   but the bottom of the lake was not searched, it seems.

Thanks Marco, Steve and Mike.
Good luck with a Falls on Ice-page, Pekka! I might publish this list on
a page myself soon, I will guess..

Bjørn Sørheim,
