I guess maybe!
It’s a Coast Guard photo:
Lake Erie Lighthouse
This image provided by the U.S. Coast Guard shows waves from Lake Erie crash onto Cleveland Harbor West Pierhead Lighthouse Tuesday Dec. 14, 2010 as the subzero air temperature causes the water to freeze in multiple layers, coating the entire structure in ice and making it virtually impossible for mariners to see the light.

Yeah it can get rough there in the winter.
I hope all is well.
Fresh water freezes pretty easily.
