Probably to the boats that were under water, Frank. :)

I've seen glaze like that from ocean/lake spray before, but that is just jaw-droppingly amazing.

Well, there must've been hurricane force winds that "sprayed" the trees and the boats. Amazing!

Aha! Now we know why they sell small butane operated hair dryers! I always wondered because they are travel size but there is no way you can travel in an airplane with them...

Those pictures are AMAZING! My guess is that it wasn't that cold (the lake wasn't frozen) but then a big arctic blast came in kicking up the lake and covering everything nearby with ice :) .
