These strange formations appeared on the pond yesterday. About the size of hockey pucks and dotted around the perimeter of the pond. Another friend noticed the same thing on his pond and we are stymied as to what caused our polka-dotted ponds. Any ideas?

Wow - an Alien visitation methinks :)
ReplyDeleteThey're beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAn ice disc, ice circle, or ice pan is a natural phenomenon that occurs in slow moving water in cold climates. Ice circles are thin and circular slabs of ice that rotate slowly in the water. It is believed that they form in eddy currents.(from wikipedia)
Well, good thing Eric did research - they are curious and beautiful phenomenon indeed!

Hi Noela, I was afraid of that...the alien invasion is closer than I'm ready for! That, or the Canadiens have been practicing on the pond.
