Pancake Ice Has Formed In A Secluded Bay Near North Avenue Beach
Holy carp, that's a real thing! According to Wikipedia: "Pancake ice is a form of ice that consists of round pieces of ice with diameters ranging from 30 centimetres (12 in) to 3 metres (9.8 ft), depending on the local conditions that affect ice formation. It may have a thickness of up to 10 centimetres (3.9 in).[1] Pancake ice features elevated rims formed by piling the frazil ice/slush/etc. up the edges of pancakes when they collide, both due to random bumping into each other and because of periodic compressions at wave troughs. Pancake ice may be formed in two ways. It may be formed on water covered to some degree in slush, shuga or grease ice. Alternatively, it may be created by breaking ice rind, nilas or even gray ice in the agitated conditions.

If You Go For A Run Today, This Is What You'll Look Like
I have always despised winter. I live in Montréal and it gets cold, here. Really, really cold. But this year, whilst everyone else is complaining about the freezing weather, I am actually very grateful for it! It has made my newly acquired pre-menopause hot flashes much easier to deal with. Thinking about moving to Alaska, actually. For real. #naturalcureforhotflashes
It's so cold that my washing machine is frozen and I haven't been able to do laundry in a week. I'm out of underwear and pants so I stayed home from school to avoid any incidents in gym class.
