It's actually fun and interesting to see the progression of the ice and to be able to chronicle it on a daily basis. If you didn't know, Island Girl has set up a page of the Rattlesnake Cam webiste with all the cam links, a link to this thread, a link to DRH's "West Alton Digi-cam" photos of ice out from the Minge cove area in West Alton and other interesting links. Here's the link if you don't already have it. (thanks I. G., DRH, and Webmaster Don for all you folks do as well)
