Yesterday, given warmer weather, several friends came out to the lake for a day of ice fishing.
They did a lot of fishing, but no catching resulted from that.
A couple weeks ago, I posted a
photograph of the strange ice patterns on a section of the lake ice near my
lakefront.
The patterns are a result of
fickle weather when the lake surface initially froze. The first inch or so of ice formed during an
arctic impulse. That ice was partially
broken up during a brief warm and windy spell.
The broken ice and open water then refroze quickly, creating the
patterns seen today.
Yesterday, the melting ice surface
offered a better look at some of the weird ice patters. I shuffled along the ice and captured a
series of images with my smarter-than-me-phone.
