I love the artistic look HighlandLady! It's like freezing time.

Ok, I think I have a few that might work,

This was shot about 2 years ago after a brutal ice storm blew through (It looks much better as a 7x17 print than on screen):

and a few snapshots my wife took while I was out on the lake (yes it was as difficult as it looks):

And a few from Big Falls, just outside of Eau Claire, WI:

And my wife's uncanny ability to catch me looking as stupid as possible:

I work on a boat and was recently sent on the Ohio River. I normally work on the Lower Mississippi and have never seen anything like this so I was facinated and had to take pictures.... This is the Ohio River, just below Pittsburg.

As predicted, the ice began jamming up and the creek has risen 8-10 feet in some spots. I took these pictures yesterday.

This is unusual is'nt it? To have a quick thaw and ice jam in early February?

Here are some more icy cold waterfalls.

Your pictures are amazing, as always, MinuteMan.

It's actually about the right time of the year for ice jams in Buffalo.

It's to get worse, by Wednesday we're looking at an unseasonable 50 degrees, I'll be ready with my camera though.

I remember one year when the temps didn't get high enough and dynamite had to be used to break the ice and let the creek's waters flow it down stream. Perhaps I'll have a chance to catch the boat used in breaking up the ice on Lake Erie. It's an awesome sight to see.

Wow...amazing pictures....... I wish I had snow to take pictures of.

The ducks don't seem to be displaced from the ice jams much.
