Solid Cold

This pic goes with this post.

A recap:

We have a big pile up of snow and ice on the Lake, as far as the eye can see. It looks like it might be solid, but with rough snow piled up, as if you could walk all the way to the open water (though I'm sure it is NOT solid). There appears to be open water several hundred yards out, but it's hard to be sure. There have been intermittant snow squalls all day, with spectacular cloud formations and periods of bright sunshine reflecting off the snow/ice. The ice/snow is solid and still, not a whisper of wind or a slight ripple to disturb it.
