ICE

I am not a scientist or even close but, my theory behind the ice ridges is from the difference in temperatures. One day it would be freezing and then we would have several days in a row where the sun is out and very warm.

This would cause melting in the shallow areas and the ice would shift and hit the other sheet and cause this effect.

It was very fascinating to look at.

The crack went along the shoreline for a few miles or more.

Halo

On the night of February 13th I saw this as I was headed home.

It was quite the site in person. It was a huge ring. I faintly saw a few more further out but my lense was as wide as it would go.

I took the clearest shot right as a plane was going over.

That is the streak through the halo.

I found THIS site that exlpains how this happens.
