Oneida Lake is showing off it's lake shadow early this afternoon. Not bad for a little guy compared to Lake Ontario.

Impressive! Ice cover over Lake Erie increased from around 27% on Sunday to near 80% on Wednesday. SAR NCRS does a spectacular job capturing this without cloud interference. #lakeerie
