Brendan Wiltse: Ice Over on Heart Lake

BJW_3086Ice over is a true indicator that winter is here.  While not celebrated as greatly as ice-off, it is a delightful moment for those of us that enjoy the outdoor recreational opportunities that winter brings.  This photograph marks the first morning of significant ice cover on Heart Lake.  Let the winter season begin!

    I bet the ice is pretty thick on it now.

      I bet it’s not more than 2 inches thick. I wouldn’t walk over it until at least the end of December, just to be certain.
