This photo shows Lake Effect Snow falling over a creek. The Air Temperature was in the low teens and the wind was really blowing off Lake Michigan keeping the wind chill at or below zero. When venturing out in these conditions it's important to cover all exposed skin because frostbite can set in quickly. Carry extra chemical heaters and keep them in your gloves and boots. Also wear several layers of clothing. Notice the Belted Kingfisher on the branch in the center of the photo. 1/18/2004
