I witnessed a 20 thousand acre lake go from no ice to 95% frozen in 15 minutes today. It did open up some this afternoon once the wind started blowing. It was a cool site to behold.

Here is a picture of the "lake" this was all open at 5:00 am.

This is a cold year. Only small open holes on strip pits open besides the power plant cooling lake. Windchill approaching 40 below Monday morning.

Even down here in the south, it is COLD. 6 degrees here with wind chill between -15 and -20. Us southern boys aren't real used to this kind of cold.

Yesterday afternoon it was 5 wind chill was -25 and snowing to beat hell. Killed a pile of geese though. Had 4 specks 4 honkers and 22 snow geese only took two picture because I couldn't feel my fingers to work the phone. No kill pile pictures either was the last thing on my mind. Sorry

Did the birds fly right at you, asking to be warmed up in your frying pan? ;)

Hey now... We have some city folk on here too.... :) I sure did see a run on all the fancy salt at home depot. Had plenty of simple rock salt though, so I was good.
