Yesterday was a big day. Sunny. Plus five or so by the eastern edge of the big lake. I found myself at an auspicious point hydrographically speaking. All around there were shards of ice packing together for chill as if to to keep themselves. Ususally ice like this would be far across the lake, deep within the cap, holding back the big lakers until spring, keeping commerce at bay. Todays rains will melt whatever is left.
Short short slow loading and uncompressed .AVI silent but entirely lovely movies of the same: #1 [13 MB], #2 [8 MB], #3 [10.5 MB]. The sound was like a gymnasium filled with tinkling crystal glassware. Click on any pic for larger scale.

Happy Chinese New Year. It's the year of the dog, I think.

Last February 1, I walked to Cedar Island with a couple of friends in pursuit of a Geocache. The weather was beautiful and the ice was thick, strong and noisy.
What a disppointment this winter has been. I was looking forward to taking some of the foreign grad students out on to the lake ice for a stroll this year. :-(

Sounds ominous. Like cement shoes. What do you have against grad students? Actually, I miss ice. I'm sure that sounds fatuous, but we don't have any where I live.
