Great Lakes storm

Why is it that color?

I can't imagine what people around here would do if that showed up here, "we" freak out over a wintry mix and flurries.....

looks like a lot of sand in the ice

Yes, fine sand particles suspended in the water droplets, the greater the wave force, the more fines are held in suspension during a blow.
 
When I lived north of Pentwater on the beach, the blowing sand would etch the windows on the west side and thin the rain gutter anodized finish in spots.
 
I would love to experience something like that just once...with the caveat that I'm prepared with food, blankets, and firewood..

Those pictures are amazing. Hell our state shuts down if there's more than 5 snow flurries predicted.

Come on up and spend a long winter in western NY.

You will get a real experience.

Become good at hibernation, and maybe even good at winter driving, going to get provisions.

Keeping fit & trim takes dedication, and some fasting.[;)]

Cuz everywhere where folks gather, there is food (especially comfort food), and plenty of it.


Soon as serious winter ends, folks begin stocking up on firewood for the next winter. The winter mind set lasts 12 months a year.

5 inches of snow is just a dusting up here.

Without a doubt some of the best snow removal, road crews, garbage men, mail carriers, etc. in the country.


One saying is - "There are two seasons in western NY, winter, and the 4th of July."

The water column is nearly isothermal, so any sustained wind blowing across a long open water fetch will build some substantial wave heights that destabilize their wave forms when the roll inshore to become breakers. Please be careful, some very dangerous rip currents form along shore during these types of storms.

Here in the UP we focus our hunts on the drowned river mouths, or nearshore inland water bodies to hunt the migrating birds blown in from open water as they migrate down the coastal shorelines.

This year it seems we?ve had a lot of these crazy storms
Warmer weather and strong winds. Not sure why but the duck season was weird

Yes I?m very careful, like you I find the spot holding the birds but still safe
 
So in that photo, what's the deal with the blue house on the far right. Looks like it's just as close to the water as the ice-covered ones, and it's clean as a whistle. Is that the house with no insulation so every thing melted off?

Saw that too. Pure speculation; but possibly the "iced " homes, are summer homes and unoccupied this time of year. Thus not enough heat and heat loss to prevent the icing?
