Strange Weather On the water

Last week we had 2 to 3 feet foot of snow on the ground and 10 degree weather

This week we got 59 degrees and rain as a result the snow melted and caused floods here

When this happens the ice melts on the river going out to Lake Michigan and starts to stack up as it moves causing the flooding as it backs up

Also damaging docks on the way

I got a new camera for Christmas so I thought i would try it out

I once rode a sownmobile threw the ice on Gun Lake in January, don't ever want to do that again. My suit frooze before i could make it to shore....IT WAS COOOOLD!
 
What a shame about those docks, that will be expensive to repair and replace. I would think this happens a lot so I am surprised the docks don't come out in the winter. Just about everyone on the lake here takes theirs out.
 
amazing what one day change looks like.

Water is calm today

All of our neighbors who left their docks in got a hard lesson last Spring. Our channel broke up and pushed about 2 mph for 15 minutes. Sounded like a freight train go'n thru. Wiped out every dock in it's path.
