Winter in Nova Scotia-walking on the Frozen lake

Ginny and I out on Lake Bannook. the ice is about 16 inches thick so you could drive a car out on the Lake.
We went out to get some groceries from Super Store and decided to cut across the Lake.

Another view from the middle Lake Bannook. This lake is full of canoes,kayaks and pleasure boats most times of the year. Now just the fool hardy.

Just in case it isn't cold enough for you else where. Wish we were back at the Dreams Tulum in Mexico.

Ooh looks scary.....dont think i'd dare walk across it much less drive across it!!! Seen one too many movies where the ice breaks!

It isn't all that scary. once in a while you will hear the ice crack. it is a good sign that the ice is thickening. only worry when you see water coming up the cracks or along the shore line open water. you then stay away from the ice.

When I lived in Germany water froze like that. In my english way I can remember shouting at the children to stay off it - then we realised that there was a 5 a side ice hockey match in progress on one part.

Oh it looks so beautify Tarfy!! I wish I were there to dig lots of holes in the lake and then cover them up with snow.
