A recent high tide pushed huge blocks of the ice sheet onto the shoreline, making it possible to see how thick it had been, and how “rotten” the ice had become before it split apart.

In the grand scheme of things, this is very trivial, but it gives me a few seconds of happiness to watch a bubble freeze, fall to the ground, and audibly shatter.

update from today, 1/28, view from the other side of the river. The part of the ice that looks blue isn’t snow covered because it froze after it stopped snowing. I didn’t see any open water

Don't 3D print a #whistle to protect yourself from #FrozenWater. Buy a proper whistle. Buy them in bulk, and give them to your family and friends, to your support circles in your community.

I recommend #StormWhistles. These are the best whistles money can buy. Make sure to plug your ears before blowing, they are that loud.

Wear it on a lanyard around your neck where it is visible to others, so they know.

The First Photographs of Snowflakes: Discover the Groundbreaking Microphotography of Wilson “Snowflake” Bentley (1885)

What kind of a blighted society turns the word “snowflake” into an insult?, I sometimes catch myself thinking, but then again, I’ve never understood why “treehugger” should offend.
