@yurnidiot That's amazing! How does that happen? It would have to flash freeze to preserve the wave right?

@thestrangelet more pictures here, and some theory about it!
fyfluiddynamics.com/2020/03/fr

ยซ Although the lakeโ€™s surface appears to have frozen waves, the prevailing theory is that these mounds and divots occur when snowdrifts form atop the lake, melt and refreeze. Over multiple melting and freezing cycles, the lake builds up with what appear to be wind-driven waves frozen in time ยป

@tsadiq @thestrangelet my understanding is when the lake freezes and covered in snow, as the wind blows off the snow, sections of uncovered ice sublimate faster so it develops a wave like pattern

@yurnidiot WOAH ๐Ÿ˜ฏ that froze midwave ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

@Heliograph i think the waves form after freezing as some sections melt and sublimate quicker than others

@yurnidiot Where is this? It looks a bit like Alberta.

@yurnidiot There are, apparently, more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in my philosophy. Wow.

@yurnidiot Ive walked on a lot of frozen lakes. Never seen anything like that. Is it AI generated?
