The ice froze in at the
Black Cat WeatherCam overnight. There is ice, as far as I can see to the southeast (down to southern Bear, Jolly, Steamboat.) There is also ice to the southwest (Beaver Is.)
It looks very thin but has survived today's easterly wind which has averaged 8-10 mph.
There is snow on our doorstep, perhaps 6 inches by tomorrow noon. This should solidify the existing lake ice for the winter, although it may result in slightly weaker or thinner ice than last year since snow ice is never as dense as water ("black") ice.
Strange how this thread started from an ice storm and is now lake ice. Ice is ice!
