Skating on Shelburne Pond - the greatest ice of the year, so far.
Pray for ICE!
The pond is about 1,000 acres. "Shelburne Pond is a surprising find. Located just 10 miles from the metropolis of Burlington, it is an area that has retained its wild and rich character despite the pressures of development. There are over 400 acres of swamps, marshes, and rich woods associated with the pond. These habitats support several unusual plants—especially ephemeral spring wildflowers—and birds. The pond also serves as an important education resource for the University of Vermont." The Nature Conservancy
January, and the ice is already 7" thick here
