Ice-Out 2008

[Pepper]

I've been noticing that blue tone in the ice for about a week and a half, getting more blue each day. Driving around the bay in Alton, and all the way through Gilford it is really noticable. Not being knowledgable about the ice I've assumed that it means it's getting much thinner. Is this accurate? I don't recall ever noticing the blue color like this before, and so I also wondered if perhaps it was the ice reflecting the color of the sky?

Either way, it is quite beautiful! It would be much more beautiful if it were melted, though!

Well, there you are, woman. You have come up for air???

When the ice gets a dull gray color it is getting punky.

I've apparently been trapped in blue ice and finally came up for air!
