Watching Ice Freeze

On Monday I watched ice freeze.

 We are having an unusually mild winter but this week has been more seasonable with freezing temps overnight of -10 to -13 C.  Finally my pond has started to freeze.  It was amazing to watch the ice form with small patches starting the process and meeting in the middle with other patches.  Tomorrow I will show a shot taken today (Wednesday) about 48 hours after this one.  It is still in my camera and I've not seen it yet so it is not a promise.

I'm tired after the 9.9 km woods walk today.  Check out An Island Walk.

Gee whizz, Mary...I wonder how the ice knows where to start its work...
Mary MacADNski: It starts at the colder edge of land and works it's way forth. I will upload the 24 hr later shot (yesterday) momentarily. Today though, there is a big thawed area and it will all be gone tomorrow. To live on a wild pond is the most wonderful experience you can imagine.
a great shot! I definitely get the sense that the ice is slowly creeping towards you smile
Mary MacADNski: It is doing just that. The result tomorrow. Today it is melting and tomorrow will be gone. Thanks for visiting.

Amazing how it forms in patches Mary, always thought it worked its way in from the outside
Mary MacADNski: It did start at the edge and is working it's way in but you can see the patches forming.

That's cold enough to make anything freeze over!
Mary MacADNski: Not Hell though.
The lowest temperature we had was -8°c and the river froze quickly.
Fine capture Mary!
Mary MacADNski: Thanks, Richard. That has been our day time temp but night has been -13.

All so differant to me
Mary MacADNski: I visited AU. It's your turn to try some winter weather.
It amazes me how quickly it freezes once it starts!
Mary MacADNski: Yes, and it wasn't extremely cold, just moderately.
the waiting game.. brrrr
Mary MacADNski: It was pretty nippy for for a few days but has moderated.
It is nice to see ice forming on the surface of water. It seems magic.
Mary MacADNski: Ir was amazing to watch. I am uploading what it looked like two days later for tomorrow.
It must be interesting to see the freezing actually happening almost before your eyes Mary.
Mary MacADNski: It was informative to my eyes. I had studied this in words but to see it6 was wonderfiul.
I've been watching it melt today!!
Mary MacADNski: Me too. It seems that England and we are moderating at the same time. I'm not terribly sad. LOL
