[cayugabirds-l] Ice mid lake/Snowy Owl Genesee Co.

2014-03-06 Thread Donna Scott
Re our string 2 + weeks ago about ice on Cayuga Lake, I arrived home from Fla 
yesterday  when I awoke after a zero degrees night, today, I see huge sheets 
of ice floating on lake here at Lansing Sta Rd where lake is 430 feet deep!
This has not happened here in many years. 
Was in Batavia yesterday before returning here,  saw one of the Snowy Owls at 
Genesee County Airport, sitting on big chimney of long, dark blue, new house 
just south of airport.

Fingerlakes Weather guy on Facebook said it was -9 in Rochester this
morning and that is the coldest EVER March temperature recorded.  The
closest was -7 in 1872.

Let's hope this warming trend takes hold.

Ithaca  where it was -10 this morning...

RE: [cayugabirds-l] Ice mid lake/Snowy Owl Genesee Co.

2014-03-06 Thread Linda Post Van Buskirk
That large ice flow could be the chunk that broke off from the north end of the 
lake.  It floated past Aurora the other morning.  When the winter is cold 
enough so that good ice forms to the north (according to my fishing depth 
guide, where the lake is less than 100 feet deep), late winter and spring are 
enlivened by the sight of floes traveling south.  I particularly like it when 
the floes are populated with geese going for a ride.
Enjoy this perfectly beautiful day-
Linda VB
