The shore is a place of gradients. Gradient is the Elixir of Youth.

do u remember the last yr or 2 when they said it was super thick.

[grey_whiskers]

I just *love* Minnesota.

The weather, not the moonbats.

[babygene]

“That’s minus-20 degrees to minus-8 degrees with windchill.”

That’s stupid. Windchill has nothing to do with anything other than mammals.

[huldah1776]

Wow. I filmed a small lake in MO that had ice chips floating in it and the wind made it sound like chimes. This is powerfully beautiful.

[Undecided 2012]

I love Texas, It’s 7pm, I think it’s about 70, we got the windows open and I’m in a tee shirt.
Minnesota winter weather for me, nah

[Robert DeLong]

I thought for sure they were going to blame this on Climate Change. Glad to see it wasn’t.

[huldah1776]

The film maker is a mammal, no? Dedicated.

I’d imagine you could get injured standing too close, ice that thick under that much pressure is eventually going to wing a sharp shard or two a fair distance away, instead of just continually piling up in larger chunks.

I remember seeing a newscast while on travel, I think it was Texas, maybe Arizona. They were having a cold snap, and the newscaster was warning of "bitter" cold, and begging people,"If you love your pets, folks,*please* bring them indoors!"

Turned out the nighttime low was 28.

I've biked to work in colder weather than that.

[Bubba_Leroy]

Proof of Global Warming! It is clearly getting warmer. In less than six months there may be no ice left on Lake Superior!

[cripplecreek]

Yeah I love ice. I like the sound of the lake freezing on super cold nights. I can hear it when I’m laying in bed.

[Undecided 2012]

funny u say that I bring my dogs in at less than 32. Not in the house but warmed shelter.
Hey if it’s below 60 here I start adding sweatshirts. At 30 I long for yankee thermal underwear and at least 2 sweats.
The Alaska pipeline, or ND fracking, nah, no way.

[Undecided 2012]

I’d rather hear crickets and frogs

[Undecided 2012]

Please stop saying 28, it gives me the shivers just thinking about it

[cripplecreek]

It hit 60 degrees here today in southern michigan but we’ve had a steady 40mph wind blowing all day.

[huldah1776]

Nice lullaby. Like a light rain on a tin roof.

[Cowgirl of Justice]

Yep, I’m with you.

My blood flows warm, with red wine, spaghetti sauce and Southern love.

[Undecided 2012]

There ya go 60 in Mi it must ne global warming
