Yesterday I had mentioned that all the snow was gone now. That's true for any open ground and even a lot of the ground in woods, but Lake Huron still has some ice about.
These pictures are from today, on a walk to the shore from our place (about 15 minutes away). The amount of ice visible on a given day varies with wind and current directions, but there's lots of the cold stuff left out in the lake. It's a cool day, about 0C with a good breeze creating a wind chill temperature of -9C.

On our way down to the lakeside, steeper than it looks

The dirty-looking drifts are ice buildup with sand and gravel mixed in

In summer the lake comes almost up to the trees on the right

Here's a picture of the same area from last fall

The ice is loose enough that we could see wave action in it

Yes your right about lots of cold stuff still out in the lake and that's why we are always a few degrees colder here along the shoreline at this time of year than folks inland.
