Frozen Caesar Pond

Whoo Hooo! Caesar Pond has a very thin layer of ice on its surface! It iced over on Wednesday after the wind and freezing rain we had all day Tuesday. The nighttime temps. were in the teens, while the daytime temps. did not get above freezing for several days. Drew went out this morning, to snap a few photos, as it is too slick for me to get over there with my new knee at the moment.

The wind whipped the water to a frenzy, and crystals formed into slushy, rotating disks creating pancake ice.  

I find it interesting that there are "pancakes" under the top layer of ice as well.

Then, there are the icicles on tree branches that overhang the pond.

Icicles on logs embedded in the ice.

And, icicles surrounding the base of trees in the water. I love our icy world!
