Deep Creek Lake officially freezes




I took these photos from the Sunplace community lakefront area on Wednesday morning. I wasn't about to walk out to try the ice, but it sure looked frozen to me. I had seen scattered groups of ice-fishermen out on the ice, so I had a pretty good idea it was solid. Later on in the day, I noticed a few snowmobilers zooming by, so the lake must *officially* be frozen! Wisp Ski Resort lost little time in terms of snowmaking - you could hear the hum of the snowmakers in the distance. The one thing that you can't see from these photos is the WIND. It had to be blowing around 30-40 mph and it was FREEZING. It was all I could stand to take these few pics and then dive back into my vehicle.
