Frozen Pond (Very Rare in South Carolina -- this part of the state, anyway)
Pond uphill from #7 fariway, Dogwood Couse, Houndslake County Club, Aiken SC, 7 Jan 2010.
The surface of the pond is frozen. My recollection (as this caption is written on 4 Mar 2010) is that the pond had frozen the night of 5/6 Jan. Then it partially thawed during the day of 6 Jan, leaving floating home-plate-sized slabs of ice that drifted around a bit. These re-froze the night of 6/7 Jan into a thin crust covering essentially the entire surface of the pond. The small slabs frozen into the new crust made for an interesting pattern.
Temperature was 14 deg F the morning this photo was taken. Very cold for here.
I sat on the shore and pressed my foot down onto the ice. It began to crack after I put what I estimate is perhaps 10-12 pounds of force. The ice crusts in all of these photos are pretty thin. This IS South Carolina.
