The temperature was pushing 1 degree out with wind chills of -10 to -15 below the kids were content with video games but, it was sunny out so we went for a hike. The kids naturally layer with wind resistant outer gear (were working on it). I hit Blackdog Road, checking out various spots along the way, nothing. We stopped at the East end of Blackdog Lake got out and walked the trail. 10 or so Swans out on the lake. The warm water from the power plant generated ground level condensation (fog, clouds) producing a pretty cool effect, a decent number of waterfowl were swimming around in the heated dense fog rising from the water. I kept asking the kids if their fingers, faces, toes were getting cold, nope, not a once did they say yes. We turned around at the State Park parking lot, usually we pass the swamp and turn around at the train tracks on the East end of Blackdog. On our way back Ali spotted an Eagle across the river, I pulled over, let the kids sit in the heated car, it took about 10 minutes until it took to the air. On the West end parking lot I spotted a pair of Eagles in the tree. After another 10 minutes or so we were off to the wild bird store to top off our feeders.

I was wondering about how the fog would look down there. Very cool…errr cold? Nice job.
That fog pictures looks pretty cool.
