WIND, WAVES RETURN ICE TO ERIE HARBOR

High winds bring high waves. And high waves, on cold days, bring icy waters. That's the situation that Erie harbor was faced with on Sunday as high winds raced through the Erie area, bringing extremely cold temperatures with them. As such, when the winds finally died down on Sunday night, the cold temperatures allowed Presque Isle Bay to begin to freeze again. Monday morning found Erie's layup fleet iced in again.

Another view. For no particular reason, I kicked the ice seen to the left of the photo as hard as I could. Didn't even crack the ice, but I ended up with a sore foot.

West Dobbin's Landing is currently covered in ice, as well.
