Steamy

But not hot! Relatively warm (32 degrees or so) water meets very cold (0 degrees or so) air.

400!

I was going to title it "Beam Me Up!" but then I realized that this is the 400th post on Lakemichiblog. Wow. Thanks for being such a loyal audience!

Note the steam rising from the (relatively) warm Lake into the cold air.

Too much awesome

I couldn't pick one image from yesterday.
The newly forming ice...
The amazing clouds...
The steam from the warmer Lake meeting the COLD air...

So here they all are. Enjoy.

Primeval

The air is about 0 degrees and the lake is still not frozen. Steamy.

There was mist rising off the lake again this morning. The air was crisp and cold, but the water was rolling so it couldn't freeze.

Pre-winter Wintery Trio

Steam rises off the warm (32 degree or so) Lake water into the cold (8 degree) air.

Those black specks are Canada geese, warming their tootsies in the 32 degree water.

This picture just looks so wintery. Brr. I'm cold just looking at it!

And all this a full 2 weeks before winter officially arrives.
