The ice is slowly breaking up as the warm winter temperatures continue most days. This side branch of the Amnicon River feeds the Snake Pit Falls farther downstream.

This snow layer on the edge of the beach shore sort of looks like a snow dragon creature breathing ice out towards the lake.

Just a few miles can make a difference in snow amount on the ground, but although the mile and half hike to the waterfall was snow covered and icy, Lost Creek Falls itself was mostly thawed out, I was hoping to see more of a frozen waterfall instead, but it was just too warm this hike.

Lake Superior seems to be in constant change and with the wind change overnight, the ice broke up in a few hours by morning and all the ice chunks were gone a couple hours later.

I was driving on a back road today when I spotted a row of round hay bales that were wrapped in white plastic lined up in a row in a field, and they looked similar to old breakwater posts covered in ice and snow I saw in a Lake Superior harbor.

The tree limbs were still coated with ice this morning, but by afternoon when the sun was out, some of the ice started to fall off and I got hit by falling ice when I was filling the bird feeders.
