Ice damage-why wait till spring

Came up this morning to put out my bubblers and prepare the dock for winter. A bit windy but not to cold so I was enjoying this yearly ritual. Just a small amount of ice around the edges of the bay here in South Wolfeboro. Within a half hour of finishing, the bay completely froze over and the wind shifted. Wiped out the 3 piers that I just had installed this summer. Canopy on order for this spring but nothing left to attach it to. I don't understand how the ice could get so thick so fast that it could do such damage. Merry Christmas!
