I've been keeping a spot near the dock free of ice so we can take a dip whenever we feel like it. It would be nice if we had an outdoor sauna or bania to warm up in after our ice bath.
This is what it was like just before Christmas. There was a lot of ice, but then it started raining. A good strong frost would have made perfect skating conditions, but that was not to be.
Ours is a spring-fed lake, and you can see in the pattern of the ice where the springs are.
New Year's Day brought freezing rain and a beautiful frosting of ice on the trees.
