The Harbor is Freezing!


While we were having coffee and donuts I could see that the harbor is freezing over!  I don't remember the last time I saw ice on the harbor.  I can 't tell how far across the ice goes, but it looks like it is half way!  The forecast is for temperatures to stay low until next Wednesday, so the freezing will continue.


You can see that the ice does not go that far north.  I guess because the harbor is so much wider there.  I made those footprints so that the photograph would be more interesting.


With the sun to the south,  the backlighting brings out the texture of the ice which makes it more interesting.


This is a closer image of some of the raised up parts of the ice.  What I need to do when I have a chance, is to bring my drone down here and then the view from altitude will let us see how far across the harbor the ice goes.  I will try and do that the day after tomorrow.

We have not experienced extreme cold temps in quite awhile. I remember Anchor Beach freezing quite a ways out from shore around ten years ago. i like that you added your footprints to the photo, but I hope you were on the sand and not the harbor.

The last photo showing how thick the ice is on the water is incredible. Love the footprints :-) Can’t wait to see some drone pictures!!
