After a week in the 50's, the temperature dropped below freezing last night. It was 29-30°, enough to form a few drops of ice for me.

Re-worked this picture today. Saturated the sky a bit. Later took out some of the vignetting.

Sunrise on February 2 was 10 minutes later at 7:02. Temperature was around 12° and got up to around 40° in the afternoon so this scene was not seen again.

Looks like a rocky shoreline but this is all ice and sand that has been eroded by waves and warm air.

January 20, 2019. 7:28am. Around 8 degrees. This is the first real ice of the year and it all came in the last two days. It's not sheet ice but distorted balls of ice between the size of a grapefruit and a bowling ball. The waves just continue to pile them up.
