Ice Blizzard IV – Cobourg Beach

What should not have surprised me as much as it did was the amount and thickness of the Ice Coating in Cobourg. I had suspected the Lake Ontario’s warmer water would moderate the Ice Blizzard’s effects. Wrong:

The lake breezes were doubly cold – wind driven at well below freezing and humid that cut through layers of clothing. Picture-taking would indeed be a cold luxury. But the vistas of a Summer beach in icy winter were frigid and also compellingly fascinating.
