Black Ice

A good friend on Canyon Ferry Reservoir Montana. Photo by Kristina PritchardAfter Winter's late start and several snowstorms there is presently good skating and sailing ice in many places.  Canyon Ferry near Helena MT has some particularly expansive, snow free ice.  Central New Hampshire has had specular sailing and skating ice for a week or so. Yesterday's satellite picture shows some bare ice in northern Michigan and Wisconsin as well. New ice offers opportunity for fun and for falling through. Please be prepared for both.
