Lake Ontario is quite cool ....

 Don't need no boat ....

Lake Ontario is frozen pretty good this year.
This was taken yesterday looking towads Hamilton, and I was standing about 50 yards out on the lake. The treeline that borders the beach is on the right.
The ice continued towards the water by the same sort of distance, but is piled up into ridges more. It looked a bit dodgy, so I didn't go out any further.

From this spot a summer's couple would usually be relaxing on the beach by the water's edge.
Now past the ice in the distance you can see ice floes ....

Looking across the lake the skyline of Burlington can be seen ....

One of the access points from the walking trail to the beach. The trail was just ploughed after the storm. It was completely clear and had been salted too ....

The south pier and light of the Burlington Canal juts out into lake. Burlington is in the distance ...

It was around minus 12 C yesterday, but the windchill made it feel minus 20 or so.
The flags at the Dieppe Memorial were nearly rigid with the wind.
Behind the memorial is the part of the Skyway bridge on the Queen Elizabeth highway from Niagara to Toronto ....
