| The day after: Lake Effect Snow! |
The sky was a brilliant blue when we arrived from the ferry. The winds picked up in the afternoon, and a storm was on the way.
The winds were picking up as we finished our trip. They pick up moisture from the Great Lakes (Lake Effect Snow), which are not yet frozen over. Of course, what goes up, must come down.

Our car iced over in the water splashing (video is here). The four of us laughed so hard. It was a wonderful trip!
History of Wolfe Island
Written by Mrs. James Hawkins, 1967
Wolfe Island, located directly opposite the City of Kingston, forms a natural boundary between Canadian and United States shores, at the entrance to the St. Lawrence River. The island is some twenty miles in length and ranges from one to seven miles in breadth; a fertile Island of over 30,000 acres in area. It is the largest of the famed “Thousand Islands”. It divides the St. Lawrence River and Lake Ontario and has the Canal Channel on the south. It might well be called the gateway to the Seaway.

I used to live in Ganonoque, and went to high school near CFB Kingston. Wolfe Island is a great spot to visit. Best nachos in town are on the island!
I love those light rays! Happy New Year.
Wow! What great skies!
The skies are amazing! One of my cousins has in-laws on Wolfe Island, so often travels there.
What a gorgeous place! And what fun to be with friends there. But, brrr --- Stay warm. Happy New Year!
I got quite a kick out of the video. Wow! I actually had to scrape ice off the windshield this morning...with a credit card as I don't have a proper scraper! happy New Year, Jenn!

...it is hard to go beyond the 'ab-fab' kind of comment!!! Beautiful. YAM xx
When I was young I became fascinated with Canada and enjoyed reading about the different wildlife areas and the life there. I know I would enjoy this owl watch very much!
So glad you had such a nice trip. I used to love it in Chicago when they would call it "just lake effect snow" as if it made such a huge difference. You still had to shovel it.
Beautiful shots of the sky!
