After two weeks of frigid weather, the air temperatures returned to the 30s and we considered paddling on Lake Michigan, ice permitting.
Our enthusiasm exceeded our opportunities. Here are a few images from our trip to scout launching and landing sites:
The North Avenue beach house behind waves of ice and snow.
Snow fumaroles.
Curtains from ice drape over the North Avenue jetty.
A snow fence does its best to keep the ice out.
A lonely snowman guards the beach.
There was some open water, but no safe access to reach it.
