January 2 Oak Leaf Imprint on the Ice

During our Snow Science vacation day camp, the students and I spent a lot of time exploring the new ice on our pond. There were plenty of air bubble swirls and frosty sticks and even a minnow trapped in between layers! Maybe coolest of all were imprints left by leaves that students pulled off the surface. Almost like a crayon rubbing except raised up above off of the ice, this swamp white oak print caught my eye more than once. Even without snow, winter is still full of impressive secrets waiting to be uncovered.
