Cold and Steamy


Just as you cannot see the wind, you cannot see the cold. You can however see evidence of the cold. When the lake temperature is warmer than the air temperature, we get fog over the lake.

Downtown buildings are visible in the background in this photo. The geese are resting and doing their best to stay warm. The fence in this photo is part of a plan to reduce the number of geese at the lake.

Many people don't have the unique joy of experiencing temperatures that are below zero. They can't imagine what it is like. It almost does take your breath away. Your fingers hurt and don't function very well. That makes it hard to take photos. You need gloves that are warm but yet allow you some dexterity. Or you need to take a few fast photos and get back in the car to warm up.
