Mother Nature doing her thing!


Amazing pictures up around Mackinac Island!!!
 
Michigan  has had the coldest winter in decades.
 
Water expands to freeze, and at Mackinaw City the water in Lake Huron below the surface ice was supercooled. It expanded to break through the surface ice and froze into this incredible wave.
 
This wave phenomenon occurs in Antarctica, but in Michigan? Yes, it's been quite a winter

    my neighbor just sent this to me, it is actually, if I remember right, up in Antarctica, but somehow got credited to Mackinaw. this was the write up, if you go to the link, the pictures are mind blowing. (and the penguins are so adorable!)
    Photos taken by Tony Travouillon when he was working at the Antarctic base of Dumont D'Urville back in 2004. Check out these exact photos, and many more on Tony's website at:

    I just know I'm ready for spring, if it will ever come!
