We can have pictures of winter

It's not very wintry in Windsor, Ont., but we can have pictures of ice and cold.

Above you should see an ice scupture at the Ice Museum in Chena Hot Springs, Alaska, as featured on Jim Wright's Stonekettle Station, quite a nice blog.

And following this link you can see "hair ice" which forms on dead wood in certain conditions. I've got dead wood all over my North Bay area property, but I've never seen this.

  1. Thanks for the shout out, Steve.

    I've heard of ice hair, never seen it here in Alaska, nor in any of the other arctic places I've lived (Iceland, Greenland, Maine).
