(part 1 of 2) We arrived at the cottage and the ice was solid apart from several feet of open water along the shoreline. Due to the wind, over the course of three hours we watched the ice not only break up, but flow into our bay from far across the lake. The end result was open water on the whole lake except the backlog of ice into our bay. This video is only at a quarter of the way through this entire three hour transition that was incredible to watch! Many a cottager have lost their dock to the spring ice flow in Ontario, Canada, and now I see why. The pressure from the eventual build up of ice with nowhere to go turned our neighbors dock by ninety degrees so that it was perpendicular with the shoreline!
