Wild Weekend

Truck in 12 feet of water near Alburg Vermont. Went through at a pressure ridge. The ice within a couple feet of the center of the ridge was two layers, each about 4-5" thick. Note the track leading to the hole.  

Late last week many new spring techtonic cracks and fold down ridges formed in some areas of lake champlain.  Early Saturday an inch or snow fell and then blew accross the ice where it collected in the exposed water of the ridges and formed wide slush bands.  Many vehicles went in.  All but two were either made it out on their own or were pulled out within a couple hours. 

More later.
