2009.3.7 - Day ? :

The weather today was beautiful, especially in comparison to last weekend. Irene and I took advantage of the warmth to visit the reservoir nearby for a walk. Around the edges where the rock dam exists the ice had started to melt. This shot was taken looking down on the surface of the ice.

Each of theses pieces is a vertical column about 2 inches long. If anyone can explain either why the ice froze as columns (and not as a solid piece of ice) or why the ice is melting in this way, i would love to know.
