Winter just begun this morning with a huge snowstorm. This was my last image of the Saint Lawrence before the formation of ice begins. K3 + DA 18-135 mm ED at 115 mm FL and f/11.

This whole thing will freeze over solid?!
All the water you show under this bright yellow light must take a LOT of cold!
That is nearly unbelievable for someone, like me, who has never seen such a thing!
Angky.

Nice shot Richard. Is the Saint Lawrence always as choppy as your photo shows?

It takes only 3 or 4 nights at -20 degrees C (around 0 deg F) for the ice cover to begin forming. Every winter the ice cover reaches 2 feet or more in depth around January. In the 17th century, our French ancestors cut blocks of ice with saws during the winter and sold them to settlers to keep garden produce from rotting during the summer. This tradition lasted until the early 20th century.

Late autumn brings gale force winds that agitate the water surface.
