Global Freezing




     Well Chris and I drove over to Wolfe Island but the Ice was to thick at the Summer ferry Dock, to get in.  Since we were over there I thought we'd try our luck at the US Ferry dock on the South side of the island. Although it was primarily open, albeit with quite a fierce wind blowing on shore, the amount of thick ice formed at the shore would have made it treacherous trying to get in or out. Needless to say we scrapped that plan and decided to head back to Kingston.
     I figured it was worth checking out Portsmouth Harbor to see if it was still open.   There was definitely some ice forming at the surface, but it broke easily.  Although the visibility is great this time of year, the water temperature is 33 degrees at the surface and 34 at depth.  Though I'm not sure that one degree made any difference.
