Description:
For those of you in the southern states, here is what you are missing. Snow, wind, and water that you can walk on. You just have to make the best of what you have, and know that it could be worse. What is it like in Canada? LOL.

Seriously Tom, can you taxi out on top of the lake or is there too much snow/ the ice is not thick enough, or both? Here is a photo of the most ice I have dealt with here in California, so forgive me if this is a naive question.

I don't trust the thickness of the ice yet. But it won't be long it is -8 degrees F this morning. We some times have clear ice but most years the ice is covered with snow. When the snow blows we get drifts and that is not good for Searey wheels. When the ice is thick enough people bring ice fishing houses out on the lake and plow roads on the ice to drive to the ice houses. These are to stay warm as they fish thru a hole in the ice under the house. It is like a little city on the lake.

Is the wind sock drifting or frozen in place?

Ed, The wind sock is still drifting. but I am sure it is stiffer than in the summer. The temperature dropped to double digits below zero last night. We have German intern students at work and they go outside and throw a cup of boiling water in the air to see it freeze before it hits the ground. It is a new experience for them.

Tom, you should make a video of that. Our southern family would get a kick.

Jeff, I didn't have my video camera at work today or I would have captured it on video. It is dark when I leave to go to work in the morning and dark when I get home from work other wise I would do it at home. It needs to be -10 degrees F or colder for it to work well. If it is that cold this weekend I will try to capture it on video.

Boiling water freezes before it hits the ground? You are kidding right? No way. I gotta see the video. But now that I think of it, in south Florida in Summer if we put ice cubes in a cocktail glass they melt before we add the vodka.<!-- >'"><br><font color=red size=6>' or > missing in user HTML.

Up here at minus 40 when the humidity is really low, you can throw the boiling water in the air and it just disappears. Looks really cool if you have never seen it before.

Grant - I'm not sure that's temperature related. I think it's more a seasonal thing. My wife does the same thing running through the stores by throwing cash in the air - it just vaporizes too.
