Ice augering question

[Stinger95]

I hit the ice this weekend and an interesting thing happen when i was augering a hole in the ice. I was drilling and when i broke through the bottom of the ice there was a loud wheening noise and air pushed up hard under pressure for about 6 or 7 seconds, followed by a suction that sucked all the shavings back down the hole.

This ever happen to anyone else, does anyone know what might have caused it? Im assuming i drilled into an air pocket of some kind, but this was a first for me. It definetly made me jump as the ice was amost 2 feet thick and my face was pretty close to the hole when it happened .

On the plus side the spot was a winner. I hit on several schools of Jumbo perch with a few walleye mixed in.
Thanks,

i've had that happen to me before but never made nothing of it.... there was a good 2 feet of ice but your probably right on the air pocket not 100% sure.

I've done the same thing except I didn't get the self cleaning hole part. I can't say for sure but an air pocket would be my best guess as well.
