These photos were taken on a day where the temperature was 17° (F) but clear and sunny. They were taken in the morning and the promise of above freezing temperatures was being predicted. After I took the shots it was a while before I had a chance to see what they looked like on the monitor and by that time it was 35° and most of the ice was gone. There seems to be a short window to photograph thin ice before it gets too cloudy or, in this case, covered in 6 inches of snow.
