Ice Doodles

Norman, Oklahoma, United States

7 February, 2014

Ice doodles, which I'm sure have a technical name, are formed on area lakes when a combination of strong winds blowing down the axis of the lake and air temperatures below freezing, usually behind a strong cold front. When the waves break on the downwind shore, they combine with blowing spray to coat the rocks and tree roots at the water's edge with ice. Because of varying weather conditions, they come in all sorts of different shapes and sizes. These pictures were taken at Lake Stanley Draper and Lake Thunderbird on January 28th and February 7th. The shape of Lake Thunderbird combined with the wind speed and direction made much better ice doodles with these cold fronts.
