Ice Formations Below the Dam ~ February 4

New London, Minnesota

The sub-zero (F) cold creates some interesting ice sculptures at the dam spillway--areas where normally the water is flowing too fast to freeze.

This is so interesting the way it builds up like that. The shapes are clearly revealed even if they aren't illuminated by the sun.
