That is weird!!

 

There is a follow on of the story here

It was featured on one of those weird weather progs last week. Just as recent flooding here has been exacerbated by a wind-pushed storm surge so the ice was literally blown off the lake and offshore.

I think I would have shown a little more concern about the possibility of the house being damaged sooner.

You would have to be a good machine driver to stop that.

it was on natures weird events with chris packam and as soon as i saw it i just thought that we will never be on top of nature as she can still pull a supprise out of he bag when we least expect it.

 

hats off to you nature...

What I took odd, was the complete absence of wind, at the time the ice came ashore.

No wind noise in the footage. No trees blowing in the wind.

So was this the result of a gentle zephyr over square miles of surface ice on the lake.

Or the result of an earlier storm getting the ice moving.

There was also something weird about the creeping mechanism.

Where was the leading edge of the ice getting the energy from, since the ice appeared to be in a very flat sheet.

Though I suppose if the ice was acting like a fluid that would explain it.
