I just love that photo, Ackwell!

From an unseasonally warm Southern England (currently, at 11.50pm: 63ºF/17ºC outside my back-door), and the forecasters telling us it will remain so for the coming week, at least. Where are our frosts? What has happened to the leaf-fall? Why are some of my spring flowering shrubs starting to show colour in their buds? Why are the birds starting to use the nesting-boxes? Why.....

Hmmmm. We can't walk on the lakes here even when they ARE frozen much less when a thaw happens that leaves water on the top of the ice. We'll sink in and freeze / drown.

It does however remind me of my inlaws' house in Canada on the south shore of Lake St. Clair where we can certainly walk on the ice (or snowmobile or whatever). I wish everyone who is in the "snow" belt a warm and safe (cheap gas) winter.

That is one fantastic photo! Really shows how great the kilt looks in all sorts of weather, on water or not.

I think it was about 6-8cm. Made a definite crackling sound but no signs of breaking. (You can see a hair crack on the bottom of the picture.)

When it really goes winter, they will bulldose roads on the ice so we get so called "Ice-roads". I'll send you new picture when the 1m of snow arrives
