Title: Ice textures and patterns
Post by: Iceshanty on Oct 16, 2018, 07:44 AM: I love the different textures and patterns that form on the ice over a season. Here is few of my favorites I have snapped pics of over the years. Post yours.

Title: Re: Ice textures and patterns
Post by: Iceshanty on Oct 18, 2018, 10:43 AM: The 3rd pic is on a large lake where less than an inch or so of ice has formed, then kind of broken up and shoved by the wind to shore. How it's gets into those similar sized chunks? Mother nature is awesome. The 4th pic is around 18" of ice or more that has been baked by 70 degree sunshine for a couple days, with many hours of warm wind.. if I remember right the winds howled all nite on it. I can see the lake from a hill when I pull up, could have sworn it was waves and open water from a distance.

Post by: P.Smith on Oct 22, 2018, 12:58 AM: Last year I got pictures of the frost on the lake , I think its neat how it looks like feathers and just turns to powder when you touch it 😁 growing up in southern Oklahoma I never seen it before moving up here to Alaska.

Post by: LEN F on Dec 24, 2018, 01:26 PM: Here is a picture of what was 1 1/2" thick ice. It then broke up into small flat pieces and a strong wind blew them back together in a horizontal position then re-froze. (Circa 1982 on a lake in SE Pa.)

First there was ice, then the wind broke it up, then calm and cold. The white ice slabs are 2" white above 4" clear and the black ice is 4".

Post by: SirCranksalot on Jan 31, 2024, 09:58 PM: We live several miles from the mouth of a slow moving river. Every year the freezing pattern seems to be different. This year I saw frazil ice floating down the river,. The day before freeze-up (pic 1) the flow was noticeably slower as the length of the frozen sectionriver downstream section gradually increased and then our section 'locked up" (Pic. 2)
