Amazing pictures around Machinac Island where Lake Michigan & Lake Huron connect.

Michigan had the coldest winter in decades. Water expands when the water in Lake Huron & Lake Michigan's surface ice is supercooled. It expands to break through the surface ice and freezes into this incredible wave. It happens in Antarctica, but in Michigan!!!! mad.gif

This is a cold weather gift from our Canadian friends to the North. stirthepot.gif How can you guys stand it???? headbang.gif

we've got a few glaciers left over from the ice age . . . every once in awhile we try to sneak one south.

Wow! That is beautiful. Ice is not going to stop us from invading and taking over their country though... We just haven't figured out what they have that we would want! Maybe! If Al Gore turns out to be right and we do have a global warming situation, we will NEED ice cubes! Anyway, you "hosers" need to know, it's just a matter of time.... mad.gif ar15.gif

These things are to be expected with global warming & all.

Very cool. "This" Michigander has never seen that before. I've sailed to Mackinac many times; where exactly was the picture taken?

Wow, those great photos. I was expecting to see a wooly mammoth buried in there somewhere.

Wisconsin has been extremely cold also. Fortunately, it broke today. It's 50 here right now. The neighbor kids were running around in shorts.

Eric,

I didn't take the pictures, they were sent to me by a friend of a friend in Northern MI.

Here's another MI photo of twin Albino Deer in mid MI sent to me by my son. The internet is a wonderful place, because they were sent to him from his MI Tech. college friend to Tom jr. working in the Bucharest, Romania oil fields. A lot of deer hunters want to know the location!!! It's a secrete. popcorn[1].gif

I see in the news that there is one dead and hundreds had to be rescued from Lake Erie when they used pallets to make a bridge to get out to a huge ice chunk so they could fish farther out. Apparently the ice shifted and flowed away making their return to land impossible. The one fatality apparently fell in and died of cardiac arrest related to exposure. The rest had to rescued with helicopters.

Watch yourself on that ice guys!
