Local resident Carol Sheppard told The Expositor that in living in the area for 55 years, she had never seen anything like this before, observing that it was likely the combination of strong east winds and the nearby open creek flowing into the lake and breaking up the ice that caused this phenomenon. photo courtesy Tammy Bourque
